What it does
We built a Web App that generates biological patterns by solving differential equations. We explore the Gray-Scott and FitzHugh–Nagumo models in order to simulate the diversity of patterns found among species.
You can experiment with different variables and constants to generate brand new patterns. We have found patterns resembling animals such as a cheetah or a zebrafish.
What is reaction-diffusion
Reaction-diffusion equations can be utilized in order to describe processes of non-chemical systems as well as those containing one or more chemical substances that exhibit diverse spatiotemporal patterns such as socioeconomic interactions, neutron diffusion, and biochemical reactions. Solutions to these equations can exhibit wave-like behavior as first described by Alan Turing in his 1952 article The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis.
