Abstract :
[en] When excitable media are submitted to appropriate time dependent boundary conditions, a standing wavelike pattern can be observed in the system, as shown in recent experiments. In the present analysis, the physical mechanism explaining the occurrence of such space-time patterns is shown to be a competition between Ohmic diffusion and an action potential propagation across the system, coupled with the existence of refractory states for excitable media.
