Excitable Dynamics in the Presence of Time Delay
Abstract
The spiking properties of a subcritical Hopf oscillator with a time delayed nonlinear feedback is investigated. Finite time delay is found to significantly affect both the statistics and the fine structure of the spiking behavior. These dynamical changes are explained in terms of the fundamental modifications occurring in the bifurcation scenario of the system. Our mathematical model can find useful applications in understanding the dynamical behaviour of various real life excitable systems where propagation delay effects are ubiquitous.
