This project is to study wave propagation in excitable media               with special emphasis on two specific systems, namely, the                      cardiac conduction system, and the Belousov Zhabotinsky reaction.               Work on the cardiac conduction will include an investigation of                 two models for the onset of fibrillation, one based on the                      anisotropic coupling of cardiac cells, and the other based on                   disparity of recovery of cardiac cells.  The investigation will                 also explore the effect of discreteness on propagation, and the                 effect of inhomogeneity on the synchrony of excitable cells.  The               investigation of Belousov Zhabotinsky reaction will center on the               dynamics of spiral and scroll waves.  Finally, the investigation                will include the study of other phenomena in excitable media such               as standing waves and breathers, and their relationship with                    traveling waves.
