Abstract:
Pulses of synchronization in chaotic coupled map lattices are discussed in the context of transmission of information. Synchronization and desynchronization propagate along the chain with different velocities which are calculated analytically from the spectrum of convective Lyapunov exponents. Since the front of synchronization travels slower than the front of desynchronization, the maximal possible chain length for which information can be transmitted by modulating the first unit of the chain is bounded.

Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
