Rhythmic movement patterns have served as a model case for developing a synergetic theory of biological coordination. In part I of this work we extended the approach to environmentally-specified and learned movement patterns on the level of the collective variable relative phase. Here we show that an identical strategy may be applied to the same problem at the level of the component oscillators. Coordinative patterns and their dynamics are derived from the coupled component dynamics and their interaction with the environment. Thus, behavioral patterns are shown to arise in a purely self-organized fashion. New directions for further research (e.g. dynamics of action-perception systems) follow from the oscillator theory. Finally the relationship between our approach and other kinds of analyses of temporal order (e.g. phase resetting) is addressed.
节律性运动模式一直是发展生物协调协同理论的一个典型案例。在本研究的第一部分,我们将该方法扩展到在集体变量相对相位层面上由环境指定和习得的运动模式。在此我们表明,相同的策略可应用于组件振荡器层面的同一问题。协调模式及其动态特性源自耦合组件动态特性及其与环境的相互作用。因此,行为模式是以一种纯粹自组织的方式出现的。振荡器理论引出了进一步研究的新方向(例如动作 - 感知系统的动态特性)。最后,我们阐述了我们的方法与其他时间顺序分析类型(如相位重置)之间的关系。
