Bb. Hu et Cs. Zhou, Phase synchronization in coupled nonidentical excitable systems and array-enhanced coherence resonance, PHYS REV E, 61(2), 2000, pp. R1001-R1004
We study the dynamics of a lattice of coupled nonidentical Fitz Hugh-Nagumo
system subject to independent external noise. It is shown that these stoch
astic oscillators can lead to global synchronization behavior without an ex
ternal signal. With the increase of the noise intensity, the system exhibit
s coherence resonance behavior. Coupling can enhance greatly the noise-indu
ced coherence in the system.
