“…Typical models that have been numerically investigated include the Kuramoto phase oscillator [7][8][9], periodic and chaotic maps [10,11], the Stuart-Landau model [13,14], the Van der Pol oscillator [12] as well as models addressing neuron dynamics such the FitzHughNagumo oscillator [15], the Hindmarsh-Rose model [16], the so-called SNIPER model of excitability type-I [17], or the Hodgkin-Huxley model [18]. Moreover, chimera states have been reported in populations of coupled pendula [19], in autonomous Boolean networks [20], in one-Following the theoretical predictions, chimera states were experimentally verified for the first time in populations of coupled chemical oscillators [23] and in optical coupled-map lattices realized by liquid-crystal light modulators [24].…”
