Abstract
Over the last decade or so, there has been an increased focus on the
appearance of mixed-mode oscillations in a variety of applications, including
cell dynamics and the environment. Taking a broad definition of mixed-mode
oscillations, the talk will cover a number of biological phenonema that have
mixed-mode oscillations as their basis.These include more familiar dynamics
related to canards and coherence resonance, as well as new mechanisms appearing
in systems with delays and nonsmooth dynamics. We concentrate on applications in
which these mixed mode oscillations are in fact noise-induced, and discuss how
the fundamental mechanisms in these examples appear broadly. These ideas point
to a number of opportunities in transfering ideas between different areas of
life sciences, as well as bringing new ideas to biological modeling from other
areas of science and engineering.
