In silico optical control of pinned electrical vortices in an excitable biological medium
Vortices of excitation are generic to any complex excitable system. In the heart, they occur as rotors, spirals (2D) and scroll waves (3D) of electrical activity that are associated with rhythm disorders, known as arrhythmias. Lethal cardiac arrhythmias often result in sudden death, which is one of...
