Description
The FitzHugh-Nagumo system describes a prototype of an excitable system (e.g., a neuron). If the external stimulus exceeds a certain threshold value, the system will exhibit a characteristic excursion in phase space, before the variables and relax back to their rest values. This behaviour is typical for spike generations (=short elevation of membrane voltage ) in a neuron after stimulation by an external input current.
