New spatial-temporal patterns and the first programmable on-chip bifurcation test bed

In this paper, we introduce a new experimental tool, a real-time programmable, spatial-temporal bifurcation test bed. We present the experimental analysis of an antisymmetric template class. This class produces novel spatial-temporal patterns that exhibit complex dynamics. The character of these propagating patterns depends on the self-feedback and on the sign of the coupling below the self-feedback template element.
