Noise Induced Coherence in Neural Networks
  We investigate numerically the dynamics of large networks of $N$ globally pulse-coupled integrate and fire neurons in a noise-induced synchronized state. The powerspectrum of an individual element within the network is shown to exhibit in the thermodynamic limit ($N\to \infty$) a broadband peak and an additional delta-function peak that is absent from the powerspectrum of an isolated element. The powerspectrum of the mean output signal only exhibits the delta-function peak. These results are explained analytically in an exactly soluble oscillator model with global phase coupling.
