Abstract :
A nonlinear dynamical system that exhibits limit cycle behaviour is investigated through numerical simulations of cardiac cells. This system´s self-organizing behaviour is characterized aiming at harnessing it in an artificial system. Results of circuit simulations for different configurations of an architecture based on simple electronic elements are shown, characterizing self-organization in an artificial electronic circuit
