Abstract It is shown that an artificial excitable lipid membrane exhibits chaotic oscillations under periodic electrical stimulation. Effect of chemical substances on the oscillatory dynamics was investigated. It was found that the structure of attractor representing the state of the oscillation changed considerably if the oscillation was chaotic. The possibility of the taste sensing and recognition system by using the chaotic dynamics is also discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
