Abstract
Interaction between an electronic and a biological circuit has been investigated for a pair of electrically connected nonlinear oscillators, with a spontaneously oscillating olivary neuron as the single-cell biological element. By varying the coupling strength between the oscillators, we observe a range of behaviors predicted by model calculations, including a reversible low-energy dissipation “amplitude death” where the oscillations in the coupled system cease entirely.
