Humans engage in a seemingly endless variety of different
behaviors, of which some are found across species, while others are
conceived of as typically human. Most generally, behavior comes
about through the interplay of various constraints - informational,
mechanical, neural, metabolic, and so on - operating at multiple
scales in space and time. Over the years, consensus has grown in
the research community that, rather than investigating behavior
only from bottom up, it may be also well understood in terms of
concepts and laws on the phenomenological level. Such top down
approach is rooted in theories of synergetics and self-organization
using tools from nonlinear dynamics. The present compendium brings
together scientists from all over the world that have contributed
to the development of their respective fields departing from this
background. It provides an introduction to deterministic as well as
stochastic dynamical systems and contains applications to motor
control and coordination, visual perception and illusion, as well
as auditory perception in the context of speech and music.
