Examples of coupling functions in a diversity of applications. (a) In chemistry, a system of four non-identical electrochemical oscillators has been engineered [32], using a specific coupling function to generate sequential cluster patterns: on the left is the optimized target coupling function, and on the right the corresponding trajectories in state space during slow switching. (b) In neuroscience, cross-frequency δ-α neural coupling functions [46] showing the spatial distribution over the head and the averaged δ-α coupling functions. (c) In mechanics, bidirectional coupling functions for a pair of metronomes coupled with a rubber band [47].
