Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the possibility of a tissue in which a local excitation can be propagated in such a way that

  1. (i)

    the excitation moves through the whole tissue in an undamped manner, and

  2. (ii)

    the excitation remains local, i. e. after the excitation wave has passed the tissue returns to its resting state of low activity.
