Abstract: | We experimentally investigated spatiotemporal patterns in chains of coupled biological oscillators with boundaries and found hidden symmetric patterns that are not straightforwardly derived from explicit geometrical symmetry of the systems. We propose a model of coupled oscillators in chains with a hidden oscillator interconnecting its boundaries. The model can explain all observed patterns including the hidden symmetric ones, while other models such as discrete analogs of Neumann boundary conditions in continuous systems cannot. |
