lightning of the experiment) when used with a noisy
or low-resolution camera. (4) The evolution of the
system should be also studied over a longer time-scale
since some experiments (like in Figure 12) suggest the
presence of cyclic behavior. (5) Future work should
also focus on the quantitative analysis of the process
in the context of the proposed model.
