We provide a uniqueness result for a class of viscosity solutions to sub-Riemannian mean curvature flows. In a sub-Riemannian setting, uniqueness cannot be deduced by the comparison principle, which is known only for graphs and for radially symmetry surfaces. Here we use a definition of continuous viscosity solutions of sub-Riemannian mean...

We revisit elliptic bursting dynamics from the viewpoint of torus canard solutions. We show that at the transition to and from elliptic burstings, classical or mixed-type torus canards can appear, the difference between the two being the fast subsystem bifurcation that they approach, saddle-node of cycles for the former and subcritical Hopf for...

We show that during the transition from and to elliptic burstings both classical and mixed-type torus canards appear in a Wilson-Cowan type neuronal network model, as well as in its corresponding mean-field framework. We show numerically the overlap between the network and mean-field dynamics. We comment on that mixed-type torus canards result...

In this paper we present a novel model of the primary visual cortex (V1) based on orientation, frequency and phase selective behavior of the V1 simple cells. We start from the first level mechanisms of visual perception: receptive profiles. The model interprets V1 as a fiber bundle over the 2-dimensional retinal plane by introducing...

We consider Wilson-Cowan-type models for the mathematical description of orientation-dependent Poggendorff-like illusions. Our modelling improves two previously proposed cortical-inspired approaches embedding the sub-Riemannian heat kernel into the neuronal interaction term, in agreement with the intrinsically anisotropic functional...

The counter-intuitive phenomenon of coherence resonance describes a non-monotonic behavior of the regularity of noise-induced oscillations in the excitable regime, leading to an optimal response in terms of regularity of the excited oscillations for an intermediate noise intensity. We study this phenomenon in populations of FitzHugh-Nagumo...
