Definition of phase and stimulus application in the one-dimensional cable. A section of length L in the cable (spatial coordinate x) corresponds to phases φ∈[0,1]. The values of the fast variable u are shown at time t=tpulse, when the stimulus S of width l has just been delivered at phase φ=0. The travelling wavefront W (by definition located at phase φ(tpulse)) is propagating to the right.
