Input correlations impede suppression of chaos and learning in balanced firing-rate networks
Fig 2
Largest Lyapunov exponent shows different chaos suppression for common vs independent input.
Largest Lyapunov exponent λ1 as a function of input modulation amplitude I1 for common (green) and independent (violet) input. are the zero-crossings of λ1 and thus the minimum I1 required to suppress chaotic dynamics. With common input, λ1 crosses zero at a much larger I1. Dots with error bars are numerical simulations, dashed lines are largest Lyapunov exponents computed by dynamic mean-field theory (DMFT). Error bars indicate ±2 std across 10 network realizations. Model parameters: N = 5000, g = 2, f = 0.2/τ, I0 = J0 = 1.
