Bimanual Oscillations • Increasing frequency: Out-of-phase In-phase Transition
Basic Features 1. Only two stable states exist: in-phase and out-of-phase. 2. As the frequency passes a critical value, out -of-phase oscillation abruptly changes to inphase. 3. Beyond this critical frequency, only in-phase motion is possible.
Developing a Model • Goals: – To develop a minimal model that can reproduce these qualitative features – To gain insight into underlying neuromuscular system (how both flexibility and stability can be achieved) “Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her pattern, so each small piece of the fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry. ” R. P. Feynman
Developing a Model • Control parameter: – Frequency w of oscillation (1 -6 Hz; divide by 2 for radians/sec) • Variables (describing oscillations): – Relative phase f of fingers (0º or 180º) – Amplitude r of finger motion (0 -2 inches)

Nonlinear Oscillator • Include nonlinear damping term(s) to yield desired phase shifts as increases • Obtain “self-sustaining” oscillations if use negative linear damping term • Hybrid oscillator (Van der Pol/Rayleigh): . . . • Seek stable oscillatory solution of form

Stability Analysis. .
Loss of Stability Leads to Phase Transition • Stability of the out-of-phase motion depends on the sign of the eigenvalue. • Increasing frequency beyond a critical value cr leads to change in stability of out-of-phase motion, triggering switch to in-phase motion
Energy Well Analogy • Potential function V( ) defined via . • Minima of V correspond to stable phases • Maxima of V correspond to unstable phases.
An Energy Well Model Slow twiddling frequency Fast twiddling frequency
Basic Twiddling Model Potential function V for phase difference : Stable states correspond to energy wells (minima of V): Conclusion: =0 is always a stable state (minimum for any a and b), while =p is a stable state only for parameter values B/A>1/4.
