Phase-Locked Modes, Phase Transitions and Component Oscillators in Biological Motion
Open accessAbstract
We review the results of joint experimental and theoretical work on coordinated biological motion demonstrating the close alliance between our observations and other nonequilibrium phase transitions in nature (e.g., the presence of critical fluctuations, critical slowing down). Order parameters are empirically determined and their (low-dimensional) dynamics used in order to explain specific pattern formation in movement, including stability and loss of stability leading to behavioral change, phase-locked modes and entrainment. The system's components and their dynamics are identified and it is shown how these may be coupled to produce observed cooperative states. This "phenomenological synergetics" approach is minimalist and operational in strategy, and may be used to understand other systems (e.g., speech), other levels (e.g., neural) and the linkage among levels. It also promotes the search for additional forms of order in multi-component, multi-stable systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
