Schematic illustration of the ‘landscape’ in a macroscopic model of SD (for details see Sec. 6.2). (a) Reaction-diffusion systems describe excitable media that support traveling waves and can engulf a cortical hemisphere. (b) Cortical folding modulates the pattern forming features. (c) Additional mean field control can stabilize localized SD structures. (d) A critical slowing down of localized SD structures is observed in a model with large mean field feedback control and the patterns are modulated (breathing spots) in curved geometries.
