Abstract

We study the dynamics of a lattice of coupled nonidentical Fitz Hugh-Nagumo system subject to independent external noise. It is shown that these stochastic oscillators can lead to global synchronization behavior without an external signal. With the increase of the noise intensity, the system exhibits coherence resonance behavior. Coupling can enhance greatly the noise-induced coherence in the system.
