Abstract

Large interconnected systems built from individual nodes with complex dynamics are common in many seemingly distinct fields of natural sciences, technology, and economy. We analyze partial synchronization patterns in a network of FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators with empirical structural connectivity measured in healthy human subjects. We report a dynamical asymmetry between the hemispheres, induced by the natural structural asymmetry. We show that the dynamical asymmetry can be enhanced by introducing the inter-hemispheric coupling strength as a control parameter for partial synchronization patterns. We specify the possible modalities for existence of unihemispheric sleep in human brain, where one hemisphere sleeps while the other remains awake.
