Movie 4

Simulation of the coupled phase oscillator model in the presence of reproduced cell mixing v0 = 1.39 (μm min-1). The spheres represent cells and color code indicates the phase value for each cell. The unit of time (t) in the right bottom box is minutes. The variable Z indicates the phase order parameter defined by Eqn 6. The simulation was started from the same initial condition used in Movie 3.
