Inspired by simulations of how nerve impulses travel through tissues like heart muscle and cause oscillations, the project has become focused on the more general emergence of patterns in time and space out of homogenous starting conditions. Going back to the pioneering research Alan Turing undertook towards the end of his life, in which he was the first to try to understand the differentiation of cells in an embryo through computer simulations. Such simulations have links to chemical oscillators based on reaction-diffusion and similar models have been used to explain pattern formation on various levels of scale in biology.
