Talk:Excitable medium

Image for this article

I've created the following animation that shows the evolution of the cellular automaton described in this article. If no one objects, I intend to add this to the article. Done.

Formation of spiral wave using the forest example

I created a video to visualize the formation of spiral waves and uploaded it on Youtube:

It might be added as a reference in the spiral wave section.

Forest Fire model

The rules given in this section are not the simplest possible for a CA modeling an excitable medium. In particular, the rule for the refractory period is more complicated than in the simplest case. I added a reference to what is probably the simplest model. Instead of replacing the given model in this article with that one, I simply noted that simpler rules exist, giving the reference and a link to a Wikipedia article. I noted that the rules given here were appropriate for the Forest Fire application. This section could certainly be improved further. Sph110 (talk) 02:58, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
