(a)–(c) A coupling is represented by a link between two cells. Cells are always coupled longitudinally and with frequency ν transversely. (a),(b) A resting cell (black) will become excited (white) in the next time step if at least one of its neighboring coupled cells are excited. (b),(c) Once a cell is excited it will enter a refractory state (gray scale) for a duration of time τ. (d) The time course of a cell once it has been excited by an excited neighboring coupled cell
