Abstract
An optoelectronic model of synaptically coupled neural oscillators interacting through a fiberoptic communication channel simulating synaptic transmission of pulse signals between brain neurons is proposed. The receiving oscillator is affected by a photodiode controlled by the signal from an optical fiber. It is found that the fiber-optic communication channel can ensure forced synchronization. Synchronization modes with different frequency ratios are experimentally obtained.
