Influence of rigidity matching in a one-dimensional array of computed cells. (A) Idealized system with I_n = I_c = 0. (B) System with no coupling I_c = 0 and Gaussian noise I_n ≠ 0. The influence of noise leads to failure of wave propagation in the excitable part of lattices. (C) System with coupling I_c ≠ 0 and Gaussian noise I_n ≠ 0. The influence of coupling leads to stabilization of the conduction system and less propagation failure are observed. (D) Maximum of power spectrum depending on substrate rigidity in numerical simulations that assumes coupling I_c ≠ 0 and Gaussian noise I_n ≠ 0.
