Abstract: The bifurcation characters of a cortical-model with bidirectional time delays were studied, proposed by Robinson, et al. before. Considering transmitting delay between excitatory and inhibitory populations, the stability, bifurcation characters and bifurcation region were achieved. The relationship of cortical potential spectrum density and transmit delay was analyzed when white noise was introduced. Result shows that time delay between different population acts as an important role of model’s dynamic characters and stability, and numerical simulation verifies the theoretical analysis. This research shows the importance of transmit delay in cortical-model, and provides theoretical illustration for further research of epileptic seizure.
