contents The paper addresses the problem of parameter estimation (or identification) in dynamical networks composed of an arbitrary number of FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron models with diffusive couplings between each other. It is assumed that only the membrane potential of each model is measured, while the other state variable and all derivatives remain unmeasured. Additionally, potential measurement errors in the membrane potential due to sensor imprecision are considered. To solve this problem, firstly, the original FitzHugh-Nagumo network is transformed into a linear regression model, where the regressors are obtained by applying a filter-differentiator to specific combinations of the measured variables. Secondly, the speed-gradient method is applied to this linear model, leading to the design of an identification algorithm for the FitzHugh-Nagumo neural network. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic convergence of the parameter estimates to their true values are derived for the proposed algorithm. Parameter estimation for a network of five interconnected neurons is demonstrated through computer simulation. The results confirm that the sufficient conditions are satisfied in the numerical experiments conducted. Furthermore, the algorithm's capabilities for adjusting the identification accuracy and time are investigated. The proposed approach has potential applications in nervous system modeling, particularly in the context of human brain modeling. For instance, EEG signals could serve as the measured variables of the network, enabling the integration of mathematical neural models with empirical data collected by neurophysiologists.
