Intraburst versus interburst locking in networks of driven nonidentical oscillators.
We investigate the effect of common periodic drive applied to mean-field coupled oscillators and observe a specific realization of synchronization for particular ranges of drive frequency. This synchronization occurs when the phase difference variability between a pair of oscillators on a given cycle is larger than that between consecutive cycles. This synchrony may have implications for neural systems, in which case the apparent locking between neurons based on the magnitude of their interspike intervals may not be consistent with their dynamical locking.
