Linear delayed feedback control of the cortical neural network
脑皮层神经网络的线性时滞反馈控制

Pathological synchronous discharge of neurons may severely impair the brain function,causing many physiological diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s diseases.To tackle this problem,a cortical neural network is constructed based on the two-dimensional neural map.All units in the network get into synchronous discharge when coupling strength between neurons exceeds a threshold value.If the linear delayed feedback control is introduced,the synchronous state of the network can be suppressed completely,but the intrinsic discharge property of the individual neuron is maintained.Simulation results show that the linear delayed feedback control is able to desynchronize the cortical network and is robust against the variations of stimulation parameters.
