Abstract

A system of mutually coupled Van der Pol equations is derived from an extended version of the Wilson and Cowan model for the dynamics of a number of excitatory and inhibitory neural subsets. In the lowest order of approximation, interactions between excitatory and inhibitory subsets appear as linear elastic coupling, while those within and between excitatory and excitatory subsets appear as nonlinear frictional coupling. The case of two coupled oscillators is investigated by the method of averaging and the stability conditions for two mode oscillations are obtained. Internal resonance is also discussed briefly in the case of identical oscillators.
