Many natural systems including the brain comprise coupled elements that are stimulated non-uniformly. In this paper we show that heterogeneously driven networks of excitatory-inhibitory units exhibit a diverse range of collective phenomena, including the appearance of spontaneous oscillations upon coupling quiescent elements. On varying the coupling strength a previously unreported transition is seen wherein the symmetries of the synchronization patterns in the stimulated and unstimulated groups ...[more]
