Entrainment Process

Please select a model configuration to display a visualization of the entrainment process.

Or play it in slow motion

Videos represent example simulations displaying body movements, muscle activations and resulting hydrodynamic forces along with a schematic representation of the randomly initialized oscillator phase dynamics.

For the decoupled configuration, we present a comparison of swimming with and without feedback.

For the oscillator-free configuration, we present a comparison of weak and strong feedback strengths. Whereas weak feedback imposes smaller intersegmental phase lags and lower frequency, strong feedback results in larger intersegmental phase lags and higher frequency.
