Coherence resonance induced by cross-correlated sine-Wiener noises in the FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons

We study coherence resonance (CR) in the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neurons under cross-correlated sine-Wiener (CCSW) noises. It is numerically demonstrated that the reciprocal coefficient of variance of inter-spike intervals (R) increases with increasing amplitude or correlation time of CCSW noises, reaches the maximum at proper amplitude or correlation time, and then decreases, suggesting the appearance of CR phenomenon. In addition, the occurrence of CR is sensitive to a parameter range of amplitudes and correlation times of CCSW noises. Thus, CR can be controlled by regulating the amplitudes and correlation times of CCSW noises in the FHN excitable systems.
