Editorial overview

The project includes a corrected false-success benchmark in which no-control propagation was initially too weak. Read Can One Local Pulse Stop a Travelling Excitation Wave?.

Key findings

  • Triggered local control blocks 94.44% of held-out waves with energy 4.183.
  • Periodic global forcing reaches 100% but uses energy 29.428.

Limitations

  • Generic one-dimensional medium.
  • No medical inference.
