Bingham on 90 degree rhythmic coordination

We have just published a paper at EBR Online First that many members of ISEP may find of interest.  The title is “The role of intentionality in the performance of a learned 90° bimanual rhythmic coordination during frequency scaling:  data and model”.  The initial studies done by Scott Kelso and colleagues entailed spontaneous mode transitions (180° to 0°) occurring during frequency scaling.  To our knowledge, the current study is the first investigating frequency scaling with a learned coordination.  The catch here is that a switch from 90° to 0° or 180° would entail a change in information.  There is also a question as to the role of correction.  Is spontaneous transition possible, as would be captured by a strictly continuous time dynamical model?  If nothing else, one sees how these problems become increasingly complicated.  In the end, a truly perception/action dynamical model does the trick!
