Abstract The Russian physiologist N. Bernstein (1967) defined coordination as a problem of
mastering the very many degrees of freedom involved in a particular movement—of …

Meeting the challenge of assembling coherent organizations of very many muscles
characterizes a functional level of biological movement systems referred to as the level of …

By watching each other's lower oscillating leg, 2 seated Ss kept a common tempo and a
particular phase relation of either 0 (symmetric mode) or 180 (alternate mode). This study …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of walking speed on the amount
and structure of the stride-to-stride fluctuations of the gait cycle. Based on previous findings …

Traditional approaches to social psychology have proven highly successful in identifying
causal mechanisms underlying human thought and behavior. With the recent advent of the …

The dynamics of pattern formation and change are studied in a complex multicomponent
system, specifically the arms and legs of human Ss. Among the novel features observed are …

Learning of coordination patterns was investigated theoretically from the point of view of a
dynamic theory of biological coordination and with reference to recent experiments on the …

In the present study, the authors examined transitions between postural coordination modes
involved in human stance. The analysis was motivated by dynamical theories of pattern …

An order parameter equation for correlated limb movements was applied to rhythmic
coordination between the limbs of two people. The interlimb coordination was established …

The component frequencies of rhythmic patterns forming rational ratios, either simple (eg, 1:
2, 1: 3) or complex (eg, 2: 3, 2: 5), are known as mode locks or resonances. A general theory …
