Predict-prevent control method for perturbed excitable systems.
We present a control method based on two steps: prediction and prevention. For prediction we use the anticipated synchronization scheme, considering unidirectional coupling between excitable systems in a master-slave configuration. The master is the perturbed system to be controlled, meanwhile the slave is an auxiliary system which is used to predict the master's behavior. The prevention is obtained by sending a control signal to the master system, which temporarily lowers its excitability threshold and prevents its future reaction to the external perturbation. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that an efficient control may be achieved.
