Abstract

A network of excitable nodes based on the photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction is studied in experiments and simulations. The addressable medium allows both local and nonlocal links between the nodes. The initial spread of excitation across the network as well as the asymptotic oscillatory behavior are described. Synchronization of the spatiotemporal dynamics occurs by entrainment to high-frequency network pacemakers formed by excitation loops. Analysis of the asymptotic behavior reveals that the dynamics of the network is governed by a subnetwork selected during the initial transient period.
