A mechanism for electric turbulence in cardiac tissue with optogenetic modification
Rupamanjari Majumder, Sayedeh Hussaini, Vladimir S. Zykov +2
Interruptions in nonlinear wave propagation, commonly referred to as wave breaks, are typical of many complex excitable systems. In the heart they lead to fatal rhythm disorders, t…

Wave-train induced unpinning of weakly anchored vortices in excitable media
Alain Pumir, Sitabhra Sinha, S. Sridhar +6
A free vortex in excitable media can be displaced and removed by a wave-train. However, simple physical arguments suggest that vortices anchored to large inexcitable obstacles cann…
