We review experimental and theoretical studies on the design and control of spatiotemporal
behavior in chemical systems. A wide range of approaches have been pursued to control …

The beating of the heart is a synchronized contraction of muscle cells (myocytes) that is
triggered by a periodic sequence of electrical waves (action potentials) originating in the …

From the stripes of a zebra and the spots on a leopard's back to the ripples on a sandy
beach or desert dune, regular patterns arise everywhere in nature. The appearance and …

It has become widely accepted that the most dangerous cardiac arrhythmias are due to
reentrant waves, ie, electrical wave (s) that recirculate repeatedly throughout the tissue at a …

Nonlinear transport phenomena are an increasingly important aspect of modern
semiconductor research. This volume deals with complex nonlinear dynamics, pattern …

We study the spatial dynamics of spiral waves in noisy Hodgkin–Huxley neuronal
ensembles evoked by different information transmission delays and network topologies. In …

Abstract Experiments on the Belousov-Zhabotinksy reaction unfold the bifurcation from
simple (temporally periodic) rotating spirals to meandering (quasiperiodic) spirals in the …

The transition between rotating spirals and spatiotemporal chaos (“spiral turbulence”) in an
excitable reaction-diffusion system is investigated by means of statistics of topological …

A transition from rotating chemical spirals to turbulence is observed in experiments on the
Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The transition occurs when the waves near the spiral tip …

Stimulation of human epileptic tissue can induce rhythmic, self-terminating responses on the
EEG or ECoG. These responses play a potentially important role in localising tissue involved …
