The evolution of spiral waves on a circular domain and on a spherical surface is studied by numerical integration of a reaction-diffusion system with a global feedback. It is shown that depending on intensity, sign, and/or time delay in the feedback loop a global coupling can be effectively used either to stabilize the rigid rotation of a spiral wave or to completely destroy spiral waves and to suppress self-sustained activity in a confined domain of an excitable medium. An explanation of the numerically observed effects is produced by a kinematical model of spiral wave propagation.
