Synchronization of excitable oscillators by matrix-mediated viscoelastic coupling — •Florian Spreckelsen1,2, Stefan Luther1,2,3,4,5, and Ulrich Parlitz1,2,41Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, Germany — 2University of Göttingen, Institute for Nonlinear Dynamics, Göttingen, Germany — 3University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Göttingen, Germany — 4DZHK (German Center for Cardiovascular Research), Partner Site Göttingen, Germany — 5Department of Physics and Department of Bioengineering, Northeastern University, Boston, USA

Individually contracting cardiomyocytes mechanically linked by an extracellular matrix belong to the class of viscoelastically coupled excitable oscillators. They exhibit an interesting range of synchronization patterns due to the interplay of autonomous oscillation and refractory period following an excitation, together with the delay introduced by the viscoelaticity. We study numerically the synchronization patterns occuring in mechanically coupled excitable oscillators depending on the viscoelastic properties of the coupling matrix.
