Comparison of potential landscapes with different large inputs. (a)–(c) The two-dimensional potential landscapes for different large inputs at zero coherence level. The strength of stimulus μ₀ = 50, 60, and 65 Hz respectively. (d)–(f) The two-dimensional potential landscapes for large input (μ₀ = 55) when coherence c′ = 0.02, 0.06, and 0.12, respectively. In all subgraphs, parameters a = 269.5, b = 108, and D = 3.6 × 10⁻⁷.
