Abstract
A three-dimensional structure composed of two coupled discrete excitable la ttices is considered. Each lattice (layer) is a discrete excitable subsyste m and using a local model of excitation transfer and failure we have estima ted the sufficient conditions for it to exhibit spiral waves. Then we show how interlayer synchronization of all motions is possible. Various effects of spiral wave synchronization, re-entry and failure are also investigated.
