Abstract
We propose a technique to control coherent collective oscillations in ensembles of globally coupled units (self-sustained oscillators or maps). We demonstrate numerically and theoretically that a time delayed feedback in the mean field can, depending on the parameters, enhance or suppress the self-synchronization in the population. We discuss possible applications of the technique.
