Abstract

It is known that an identical delay in all transmission lines can destabilize the macroscopic stationarity of a neural network, causing oscillation. We analyze the collective dynamics of a network whose transmission delays are distributed in time. Here, a neuron is modeled as a discrete-time threshold element that responds in an all-or-nothing manner to a linear sum of signals that arrive after delays assigned to individual transmission lines. Even though transmission delays are distributed in time, a whole network exhibits a single collective oscillation with a period close to the average transmission delay. The collective oscillation cannot only be a simple alternation of the consecutive firing and resting, but also arbitrarily sequenced series of firing and resting, reverberating in a certain period of time. Moreover, the system dynamics can be made quasiperiodic or chaotic by changing the distribution of delays.
