Optimal phase control of biological oscillators using augmented phase reduction.

abstract：:Diffusion processes have been extensively used to describe membrane potential behavior. In this approach the interspike interval has a theoretical counterpart in the first-passage-time of the diffusion model employed. Since the mathematical complexity of the first-passage-time problem increases with attempts to make t...

abstract：:Earlier experimental studies by one of us (Kelso, 1981a, 1984) have shown that abrupt phase transitions occur in human hand movements under the influence of scalar changes in cycling frequency. Beyond a critical frequency the originally prepared out-of-phase, antisymmetric mode is replaced by a symmetrical, in-phase m...

abstract：:Two-dimensional scalar fields (e. g. pictures) are often described by way of a linear superposition of simple base functions. It is argued that such decompositions are often unnatural in the sense that the decomposition takes no regard of the structure of the field and it may happen that the parts are more complicated...
