Figure 2.

(A) Time courses of the order parameters R1 and R4 for the phase oscillators (Equation 1) controlled by 4-site CR stimulation (Equation 2) administered to synchronized oscillators in the time interval t ∈ [400, 700]. (B) Time-averaged (over 400 stimulation periods T) order parameters 〈R1〉 and 〈R4〉 vs. stimulation strength I. Blue circle depicts the minimal value of 〈R1〉 achieved for the optimal stimulation strength Iopt = 6.25, which is taken for the simulation in plot (A). (C–F) Snapshots of the phase distribution density histograms at the times indicated in the plots. Current decay rate σ = 0.5 in Equation (2).
