Such patterns are often seen in models motivated by natural systems &#8211; such as the brain, the gravid uterus and plankton blooms in the open seas &#8211; and have been experimentally studied using chemical systems such as the Beluosov-Zhabotinski reactions in microfluidic devices. This talk will present our recent exploration of the fascinating world of pattern formation in spatially extended excitable\/oscillatory media. We will conclude with the suggestion of an intriguing possibility, viz., of using our understanding of the genesis &amp; stability of these patterns and their transformations into each other in order to perform &#8220;chemical computation&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Date<\/strong> : 18\/08\/2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":21956,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[109],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18281"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18281"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23017,"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18281\/revisions\/23017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iiser.ntc-us.com\/iisernew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
