We study the influence of diversity on the dynamics of spiking in spatially extended systems with global or diffusive couplings, which is locally modeled by a map-based neuron. The variance of the system’s parameter D is used to measure the diversity. It is found that the regularity of spikes...

The effect of diversity on a system of coupled threshold elements is investigated, where each element is driven by a common periodic signal. Diversity is introduced to the system by assuming that the thresholds of all units are heterogeneous, e.g. the thresholds follow a Gaussian or other...
