# Conway's Travelling Waves

Cortical Travelling Waves overlaid with Conway's Game of Life or Belousov–Zhabotinsky Automata to perturb the phase space. Based on cortical travelling waves which are harmonic oscillators that sync up to each other based on a nearest neighbor search (defined by a "Mexican Hat" radius)

With WebGL! It's just a single HTML file right now with zero dependencies. See the codepen or just open the file to run it.
