Relation between synchrony index and coupling strength and scaling behavior between the number of neurons in the network and critical coupling strength. (a) The ensemble average synchrony index 〈γ〉 as a function of coupling strength (ɛ) for N = 12 is shown. The critical coupling strength ɛc is determined at the value where 〈γ〉 = 0.9. Solid gray line along the curve indicates interpolated values. (b) The algebraic scaling between ln ɛc and ln N; ln ɛc = α × ln N is plotted. The scaling exponent “a” was 0.7 ± 0.08.
