Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 238301 (2002) [4 pages]Collective Dynamics of Chaotic Chemical Oscillators and the Law of Large NumbersReceived 1 December 2001; published 22 May 2002 Experiments on the nontrivial collective dynamics and phase synchronization of populations of nonidentical chaotic electrochemical oscillators are presented. Without added coupling no deviation from the law of large numbers is observed. Deviations do arise with weak global or short-range coupling; large, irregular, and periodic mean field oscillations occur along with (partial) phase synchronization. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
