We consider n-dimensional Euclidean lattice networks with nearest neighbour coupling architecture. The associated lattice dynamical systems are infinite systems of ordinary differential equations, the cells, indexed by the points in the lattice. Periodic patterns of synchrony are lattice networks whose cells are coloured according to a local rule, or balanced colouring, and such that the overall system has spatial periodicity. These patterns depict the finite-dimensional flow-invariant subspaces for all the lattice dynamical systems, in the given lattice network, that exhibit those periods. We address the relation between periodic patterns of synchrony and finite bidirectional coloured networks. Given an n-dimensional Euclidean lattice network with nearest neighbour coupling architecture, and a colouring rule with k colours, we enumerate all the periodic patterns of synchrony generated by a given finite network, or graph. This enumeration is constructive and based on the automorphisms group of the graph (joint work with Ana Paula S. Dias).
