Nonlocal-coupling-based control of coherence resonance

We demonstrate that nonlocal coupling enables control of the collective stochastic dynamics in the regime of coherence resonance. The control scheme based on the nonlocal interaction properties is presented by means of numerical simulation on an example of coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators. In particular, increasing the coupling radius is shown to enhance or to suppress the effect of coherence resonance, which is reflected in the evolution of the dependence of the correlation time and the deviation of interspike intervals on the noise intensity. Nonlocal coupling is considered an intermediate option between local and global coupling topologies, which are also discussed in the context of the coherence resonance control.
