Abstract
It is shown that the dynamics of spiral waves in excitable media are o
rganized around a codimension-two point where a Hopf bifurcation from
rotating waves interacts with Euclidean symmetry. A simple ordinary-di
fferential-equation model of this bifurcation generates dynamics like
the ''meandering'' of spiral waves.
