Wave propagation enhances extracellular signal strength in small excitable tissues

Show abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) offer new opportunities to study cardiac dynamics and drug responses. High-throughput platforms often rely on extracellular potential (EP) recordings as a proxy for transmembrane voltage, making EP signal strength critical for analysis. EPs arise from spatial inhomogeneities - either intrinsic or induced by wave propagation. Using a computational model, we show that uniform simultaneous stimulation of all cells suppresses wave propagation and results in weak signals. In contrast, localized stimulation that initiates a traveling wave generates much stronger EPs, improving the robustness of biomarker extraction from extracellular recordings.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
