β¦ Synopsis
In various approximations the heart is considered as a system of coupled nonlinear oscillators which are characterized by their phase transition curve (PTC) only. The system exhibits many phenomena which are known from ECG recordings such as multi-level-Wenckebach periodicity, dissociation, induction or removal of a tachycardia by an extrasystole, pseudo-block and the gap phenomenon. All these can be discussed within the model on a quantitative level.

Modified coupled van der Pol oscillators have been used to simulate electronically a reaction-diffusion system. An electronically excitable wave front (EEW) moving over a one-dimensional grid, was generated. A fixed width pulse was used to study the influence of amplitude and pulse repetition freque
A system of n-coupled oscillators driven by Gaussian white noises as a model for a stochastic polyharmonic system is considered. The latter is proposed for the generation of "multi-carrier" non-Gaussian stochastic processes with defined probabilistic features. The stabilization of the polyharmonic s
