The properties of excitable medium provide us with a number of features remaining those characterizing biological information processing, and pulses of excitation appear as the result of an external stimulus and they can propagate in a homogeneous medium with a constant velocity and a stationary shape dissipating medium energy.

Advanced Chemical Computing Using Discrete Turing Patterns in Arrays of Coupled Cells

Using stability and bifurcation analysis, conditions for occurrence of discrete Turing patterns associated with non-uniform stationary states are identified and stable symmetric and/or asymmetric discrete Turing pattern coexisting with stable uniform periodic oscillations are found.

Sensing the distance to a source of periodic oscillations in a nonlinear chemical medium with the output information coded in frequency of excitation pulses.

It is demonstrated that a sensor that can feel the distance separating it from a source of periodic excitations can be constructed by a proper geometrical arrangement of excitable and nonexcitable regions.

On Chemical Reactors That Can Count

This paper shows how to build a reactor counting the number of pulses that arrive at a given point of space or that propagate within a signal channel.

Information operations with an excitable field.

A numerical simulation is used to show that the traveling wave, or signaling pulse, can be transmitted from an excitable field to an opposingexcitable field via an intervening passive diffusion field in a characteristic manner depending on the spatial geometry of the excitable fields.

Multiargument logical operations performed with excitable chemical medium.

If a proper geometrical arrangement of excitable and nonexcitable areas is used then the construction of the considered devices can be much simpler than in the case where they are composed of chemical binary logical gates.

Real-time memory on an excitable field.

A strategy for creating real-time memory that shows that input pulse trains can be stored as a sequence of rotating traveling waves in a circular excitable field by using its characteristics as a diode due to spatially asymmetric arrangement.

Logical Functions of a Cross Junction of Excitable Chemical Media

We discuss properties of a cross junction composed of active areas, in which the Belousov−Zhabotinsky reaction proceeds, and passive stripes. The response of such a junction with respect to pulses of

Logic gates in excitable media

The interaction of chemical waves propagating through capillary tubes is studied experimentally and numerically. Certain combinations of two or more tubes give rise to logic gates based on input and

Resonances in periodically forced excitable systems

Responses to single and periodic pulse perturbations are studied in two model excitable systems, a six-variable model of the chloriteiodide reaction and a four-variable extended Oregonator, using the

Image processing using light-sensitive chemical waves

A special light-sensitive chemical system, a variant of the Belousov–Zhabotinskii medium, in which chemical reaction fronts ('chemical waves') can be modified by light to demonstrate contrast modification, discerning of contours, and smoothing of partially degraded pictures.
