Abstract

Erratic wave breakups can cause spatiotemporal disorder (often called ‘turbulence’) in excitable media. Using different experimental setups of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, as well as simulations, we show that a finite number of pulses, each of which causes backfiring (splitting) of the waves, completely annihilates the disordered waves. Considering formal analogies, one may similarly control cardiac fibrillation.
