Brain networks exhibit very variable and dynamical functional connectivity flexible configurations of information exchange despite their overall fixed structure. oscillations are hypothesized to underlie time-dependent by periodically changing the excitability neural populations. In this paper, we investigate role connection delay detuning between natural frequencies populations in transmission signals. Based on numerical simulations analytical arguments, show that amount transfer two oscillating could be determined mismatch oscillation frequencies. Our results highlight collective phase response curve for efficacy signal quality brain networks.
