We investigate a globally coupled ensemble of excitable FitzHugh-Nagumo systems subject to Gaussian white noise. In a certain parameter regime we find for increasing noise intensity a transition from a stable fixed point to global oscillations. The transition is complex and we find different regimes exhibiting small amplitude oscillations, period doubling, chaos, and intermittent and non-intermittent spiking. We derive the dynamical system of the ensembles moment dynamics in the Gaussian approximation and calculate the Hopf bifurcation condition analytically.
