We numerically investigate the onset of multi-chimera states in a linear array of coupled oscillators. As the phase delay $\alpha$ is increased, they exhibit a continuous transition from the globally synchronized state to the multichimera…
A "chimera state" is a dynamical pattern that occurs in a network of coupled identical oscillators when the symmetry of the oscillator population is broken into synchronous and asynchronous parts. We report the experimental observation of…
We show that chimera patterns can be induced by noise in nonlocally coupled neural networks in the excitable regime. In contrast to classical chimeras, occurring in noise-free oscillatory networks, they have features of two phenomena:…

Chimera states are dynamical patterns in networks of coupled oscillators in which regions of synchronous and asynchronous oscillation coexist. Although these states are typically observed in large ensembles of oscillators and analyzed in…
Coupled oscillators, even identical ones, display a wide range of behaviours, among them synchrony and incoherence. The 2002 discovery of so-called chimera states, states of coexisting synchronized and unsynchronized oscillators, provided a…
The synchronization of coupled oscillators is a fascinating manifestation of self-organization that nature employs to orchestrate essential processes of life, such as the beating of the heart. Although it was long thought that synchrony or…

Chimera is a fascinating phenomenon of coexisting synchronized and desynchronized behaviour that was discovered in networks of nonlocally coupled identical phase oscillators over ten years ago. Since then, chimeras were found in numerous…
