7 Synergetic Interpretation of Patterned Vasomotion Activity …

Fig. 7.5 Schematic representation of the characteristics of the “aperiodically” placed and “asymmetrically configured” records of LDA and PPG under the influence of neurogenic vasoconstriction

muscle of the resistance vessels proper, see Siegel)
activity. This is a good example of “load-dependent ordering”, if the same occurs
without external drive, one is confronted with “synergetic stereotypes”, i.e. highly
pathological situations. In the case of prolonged drive, however, a unique combination
of central nervous subsystems (circulatory reflex centres, respiration centres, higher
centres for the spinal control of skeletomuscular activity) is found, under which physiologically important conditions one can indeed “identify” permanently dominating
attractor domains (“permanent” meaning that they reflect a non-fatiguing and uninhibited “steady state” activity, where integer number coordination as a mode of central
nervous “binding” is indeed frequently found. See Fig. 7.10 and the short Outlook
to future techniques for displaying emerging and submerging “consensualisation”
scenarios.
7.4 Outline of the Methods and Prototypical Examples
for Complexity Reduction in Non-invasively Obtained
Measurements
Modern information technology as it is nowadays available in inexpensive laptop
computer has made this new look a complexity in everyday clinical problems
possible. In trying to display some of the pivotal results underlying the interpretation of the “double plots”, the current communication exemplifies the explanatory power of synergetic system analysis with the help of a program package now
commercially available (van den Houten). After having established as the first step to
“standardise” the measuring conditions for the long-term registration of the patterns
found in cutaneous perfusion, regular “control” for the “physical” and “mental” rest
in the individual subjects is now possible. We stress that contrary to a widely held
misconception, the mere assumption of the supine position and the control of ambient
