摘要：

Spiral waves of excitation occur in many systems, including heart tissue, where they are responsible for often lethal flutter and fibrillation. It should be possible to control their movement with low applied voltages; and now that a rigorous mathematical description of spiral-wave motion has been derived, the limits of this technique can be calculated.
