Intersegmental Coordination: Lessons from Modeling Systems of Coupled Non-Linear Oscillators

Forcing of coupled nonlinear oscillators: studies of intersegmental coordination in the lamprey locomotor central pattern generator.

1. This paper reports the results of an investigation of the basic mechanisms underlying intersegmental coordination in lamprey locomotion, by the use of a combined mathematical and biological approach. 2. Mathematically, the lamprey central pattern generator (CPG) is described as a chain of coupled nonlinear oscillators; experimentally, entrainment of fictive locomotion by imposed movement has...

Modeling of Coupled Chaotic Oscillators

Chaotic dynamics may impose severe limits to deterministic modeling by dynamical equations of natural systems. We give theoretical argument that severe modeling difficulties may occur for highdimensional chaotic systems in the sense that no model is able to produce reasonably long solutions that are realized by nature. We make these ideas concrete by investigating systems of coupled chaotic osc...

Intersegmental Coordination in Stair Climbing

Stair climbing has become a popular form of training for athletes as well as non-athletes. Considering that there are a plethora of devices for stair climbing, how does a person decide which apparatus to use? Aside from issues of practicality, much of the decision could be based on the principles of specificity of training. That is, for maximum transfer of benefits from one activity to another,...
