Wave propagation in excitable media provides an important example of spatiotemporal self-organization. The Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction and the impulse propagation along nerve axons are two well-known examples of this phenomenon. Excitable media have been modelled by continuous partial differential equations and by discrete cellular automata. Here we describe a simple three-states cellular automaton model based on the properties of excitation and recovery that are essential to excitable media. Our model is able to reproduce the dynamics of patterns observed in excitable media.

We present a cyclic cellular automaton for excitable media. The model exhibits the complex dynamics of patterns observed in excitable media. Spatial patterns dynamics provides an important example of spatio-temporal self-organization in distributed active systems. The global behavior of the cellular automaton model is described in terms of point correlation functions. The Fouries analysis pointed out the quasi-oscillatory and chaotic behavior of these functions.
