Using a symbolic coding of the recorded time series, we demonstrate the existence of qualitative transitions induced by experimental manipulation of the tempo. A nonlinear model with delayed feedback control is proposed, which accounts for these dynamical transitions in terms of bifurcations resulting from variation of the external control parameter. Furthermore, it is shown that transitions can also be observed due to fluctuations in the timing control level.

This study is based on electrocardiogram and respiratory flow data obtained from 3 different subjects during paced breathing at 10 different pacing cycle lengths ranging from 5 s to 12 s. Two different methods ideally suited for the analysis of synchronization pattern of coupled oscillators are applied: 1. Symbolic dynamics based on symbol coding adapted for the detection of respiratory modulation of cardiac parasympathetic activity discloses two regimes of different synchronization behaviour within the frequency area corresponding to the Arnold tongue of 1:1 frequency-locking between respiratory flow and respiratory heartbeat variation (respiratory sinus arrhythmia). 2. The analysis of the phase shift between respiratory flow and respiratory sinus arrhythmia indicates that synchronization is not a static but a dynamic phenomenon. The observed dependence of the phase shift on respiratory cycle length shows large inter-individual variation. These findings turn out to be further hints for the existence of an additional central oscillator in the frequency range of respiration interacting with the central respiratory oscillator driving mechanical respiration.}, language = {en} } @article{EngbertHainzlZoelleretal.1998, author = {Engbert, Ralf and Hainzl, Sebastian and Z{\"o}ller, Gert and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Testing for unstable periodic orbits to characterize spatiotemporal dynamics}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{KrampeKlieglMayretal.2000, author = {Krampe, Ralf-Thomas and Kliegl, Reinhold and Mayr, Ulrich and Engbert, Ralf and Vorberg, D.}, title = {The fast and the slow of skilled bimanual rhythm production : parallel versus integrated timing}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{EngbertKliegl2001, author = {Engbert, Ralf and Kliegl, Reinhold}, title = {Mathematical models of eye movements in reading : a possible role for autonomous saccades}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{KrampeEngbertKliegl2001, author = {Krampe, Ralf-Thomas and Engbert, Ralf and Kliegl, Reinhold}, title = {Age-specific problems in rhythmic timing}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @article{EngbertKrampeKliegl2002, author = {Engbert, Ralf and Krampe, Ralf-Thomas and Kliegl, Reinhold}, title = {Synchronizing movements with the metronome : nonlinear error corrections and unstable periodic orbits}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @article{EngbertLongtinKliegl2002, author = {Engbert, Ralf and Longtin, Andre and Kliegl, Reinhold}, title = {A dynamical model of saccade generation in reading based on spatially distributed lexical processing}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @article{KrampeEngbertKliegl2002, author = {Krampe, Ralf-Thomas and Engbert, Ralf and Kliegl, Reinhold}, title = {Representational models and nonlinear dynamics : irreconcilable approaches to human movement timing and coordination or two sides of the same coin? : Introduction to the special issue on movement timing and coordination}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @article{EngbertScheffczykKrampeetal.2002, author = {Engbert, Ralf and Scheffczyk, Christian and Krampe, Ralf-Thomas and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Kliegl, Reinhold}, title = {Symbolic dynamics of bimanual production of polyrhythms}, isbn = {3-540- 63481-9}, year = {2002}, abstract = {We analyse time series from a study on bimanual rhythmic movements in which the speed of performance (the external control parameter) was experimentally manipulated.
