Motivation During the last few decades, the motivation for studying nonlinear chemical dynamics has originated – partially – from our hope to model similar behavior of living systems (rhythm of heart, neural activity in the brain, etc.). However, it is characteristics of biological tissues that they are built of large number of cells global and/or local coupling of the units must play an essential role in generating the collective dynamics With the present project we plan to investigate nonlinear dynamics of coupled chemical systems, learn about the general laws governing the emergence of coherent dynamics develop algorithms for achieving synchronized (controlled) behavior. To reach these goals coupled electrochemical systems are studied experimentally and numerically.

Synchronization First observed and described by Christiaan Huygens in1665 “I finally found that this happened due to a sort of sympathy” 1629-1695
Coupled pendulum clocks
Simple modes of synchronization in-phase anti-phase
Synchronization cronoz - chronos (time) - syn (same, common) “synchronous” - „sharing the common time”, „occurring in the same time” Universal behavior occurring in physical, chemical, biological, economical etc. systems. SYNC: adjustment of rhythms of oscillating objects due to their weak interactions.

Strength of global coupling (κ) The strength of global coupling κ is varied by changing the individual (Rind) and/or collective resistances (Rcoll) For simplicity, we consider unit surface area (A = 1,0 cm2) for each electrode.
