Sequential chaotic oscillations in excitatory-inhibitory threshold-linear networks
The paper proposes Sequential Chaotic Oscillations (SCOs) as a mechanism for sequential metastability in excitatory-inhibitory threshold-linear networks. It analyzes fixed point structures on paths and cycles, showing how inhibition strength dictates the number of possible states. SCOs arise from unstable singleton fixed points under strong inhibition, suggesting chaotic itinerancy in neural systems.
