Correlation (R²) of the relative phase [φHE(i)_HN(i)] versus relative strength of each heart interneuron [HN(i)] input for HE(8) and HE(12) motor neurons in peristaltic and synchronous coordination modes in 12 sample preparations from the living system for which the temporal pattern of the inputs and outputs and the strengths patterns of the inputs were all determined (top row) and in the heart motor neuron ensemble model using the temporal pattern of preparation 5/27B/09 (Fig. 9) (bottom row)
