title: Strange nonchaotic attractors in driven excitable systems.
abstract: Through quasiperiodic forcing, an excitable system can be driven into a regime of spiking behavior that is both aperiodic and stable. This is a consequence of strange nonchaotic dynamics: the motion of the system is on a fractal attractor and the largest Lyapunov exponent is negative.
