Abstract: A class of excitable media described by the Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation is investigated. Based on the stable and selfadaptive theory, the error between the systems grid variables and the standard sampling of the periodical signal or constant signal was feed back into the system both globally and locally. When the controller was then shut off, automatically, the whole system became homogeneous. Additionally, the scheme was tested under noisy conditions. The numerical simulations results demonstrate its effectiveness. The system reached a homogeneous state and a spiral wave was converted into a target wave, resulting in a wonderful pattern emerging using a different controller. The scheme proved robust in resisting the effects of noise.
