# gst: self-organized chimera states in pulse-coupled oscillator systems.

<< Coupled oscillator systems can lead to states in which synchrony and chaos coexist. These states are called “chimera states.” >>

️

AA << study a variation of a pulse-coupled oscillator (PCO) model that has been shown to produce chimera states, demonstrate that it reproduces several of the expected chimera properties, like the formation of multiple heads and the ability to control the natural drift that Kuramoto's chimera states experience in a ring, and explain how chimera states emerge. >>️

<< Three notable aspects of chimeras in our PCO networks (with time-discrete coupling) are the absence of firing events from the tail (which still almost synchronize their phases), the reliable onset of the phenomenon from virtually any initial configuration, and the lack of a superimposed structure (e.g., artificially splitting the population into subgroups) and thus the self-organized nature of the phenomenon. >>️
