Chimera states -- named after the mythical beast with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a dragon's tail -- correspond to spatiotemporal patterns characterised by the coexistence of coherent and incoherent domains in coupled systems. They…

Chimera states, namely the coexistence of coherent and incoherent behavior, were previously analyzed in complex networks. However, they have not been extensively studied in modular networks. Here, we consider the neural network of the…

Systems of nonlocally coupled oscillators can exhibit complex spatio-temporal patterns, called chimera states, which consist of coexisting domains of spatially coherent (synchronized) and incoherent dynamics. We report on a novel form of…

Low dimensional dynamics of large networks is the focus of many theoretical works, but controlled laboratory experiments are comparatively very few. Here, we discuss experimental observations on a mean-field coupled network of hundreds of…

Discovered numerically by Kuramoto and Battogtokh in 2002, chimera states are spatiotemporal patterns in which regions of coherence and incoherence coexist. These mathematical oddities were recently reproduced in a laboratory setting…

Chimera states are a phenomenon in which order and disorder can co-exist within a network that is fully homogeneous. Precisely how transient chimeras emerge in finite networks of Kuramoto oscillators with phase-lag remains unclear.…
