Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 97))

Abstract

The synchronization of two Ghostburster neurons under different external electrical stimulations is considered. Firstly, the periodic and chaotic dynamical behaviors of single Ghostburster neuron under various external electrical stimulations are analysed. Then the synchronization of general master-slave chaotic systems is formulated and an adaptive controller based dynamic compensation is designed to synchronize two Ghostburster neurons. Since the adaptive controller based on dynamic compensation is utilized, the exact knowledge of the systems is not necessarily required. Asymptotic synchronization can be achieved by choosing proper controller parameters. Simulation results confirm that the adaptive control approach employed in this paper is valid in the synchronization of two Ghostburster neurons.
