Abstract
We study the features of formation and evolution of spatiotemporal chaotic regime generated by autonomous pacemakers in excitable deterministic and stochastic bistable active media using the example of the FitzHugh – Nagumo biological neuron model under discrete medium conditions. The following possible mechanisms for the formation of autonomous pacemakers have been studied: 1) a temporal external force applied to a small region of the medium, 2) geometry of the solution region (the medium contains regions with Dirichlet or Neumann boundaries). In our work we explore the conditions for the emergence of pacemakers inducing target patterns in a stochastic bistable excitable system and propose the algorithm for their analysis.
