Chimeras are special states that are composed of coexisting spatial domains of coherent and incoherent dynamics, which typically emerge in identically coupled oscillators. In this paper, we study a network of nonlocally coupled Hindmarsh-Rose neurons that are subject to an alternating current. We sh...
