Lorenz Heartbeat


Lorenz Heartbeat Java applet.

Details

The two plots are traces of the variables in a set of 6 differential equations, consisting of the Lorenz equations coupled to a three-dimensional Fitzhugh-Nagumo-style excitable media model (FHN3). The top shows the x versus z variables of Lorenz, the lower trace is the v (voltage) variable of FHN3. Parameters: the "coupling strength" parameter is the coupling constant which is multiplied times the Lorenz input into FHN3, the "Lorenz speed" controls the speed at which Lorenz is integrated, and therefore controls the relative time constants of Lorenz/FHN3.
