The synchronization of chaotic systems have received an increasing interest
in the last few years. In an attempt to understand some of the possible me
chanisms of synchronization of neurons in a noisy environment, the present
study extends a control method which is based on the Kalman filter. This ad
aptive control mechanism is able to modulate the frequency and the clusteri
ng behavior of a network of neurons and can thus make the network switch dy
namically to different rhythmic activity, leading to different coding possi
bility.
