Starting with a subexcitable net of FitzHugh-Nagumo elements it is shown that parameter variability (diversity) is able to induce pattern formation. These patterns are most coherent for an intermediate variability strength. This effect is similar to the well-known spatiotemporal stochastic resonance generated by additive noise in subexcitable media. Furthermore, variability is able to induce a transition to an excitable behavior of the net. This transition strongly depends on the coupling strength between the elements and it is found only for strong coupling. For weaker coupling one observes a lifetime lengthening of waves propagating through the medium, but the net stays subexcitable.
