Abstract:
We study the propagation of periodic pulse trains in excitable media exposed to external spatio-temporal noise using the
light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction with the underlying Oregonator model as representative example. In the weak
noise
approximation we find noise-induced transitions in the dispersion relation of pulse trains. We discuss noise-enhanced propagation
of
pulse trains within a certain wave-length range caused by external noise of moderate strength.
