Self-Induced Switchings between Multiple Space-Time Patterns on Complex Networks of Excitable Units

We report on self-induced switchings between multiple distinct space-time patterns in the dynamics of a spatially extended excitable system. These switchings between low-amplitude oscillations, nonlinear waves, and extreme events strongly resemble a random process, although the system is determinist...
