D. A. Engstrøm - Ph.D. Neuropharmacology. Metastabilian artist~scientist, professional musician, writer and muse. Co-founder with Dražen Pavlović of The Metastabilian Movement, an artistic~scientific exploration of the creative potential of ‘the squiggle sense’ of the complementary nature. Co-author with J. A. Scott Kelso of “The Complementary Nature” (MIT Press, 2006). Active Professional Entertainer, Doc is guitarist singer-songwriter, who has played over 2500 shows over the last three decades in 11 countries, predominantly in Scandinavia.
Co-founder of The Metastabilian Movement. Professional oil painter and performance artist. Co-founder along with David Engstrøm of The Metastabilian Movement. Owner~operator of Atelier Pavlovich in Varazdin, Croatia. Chairmen of the managing board of the LUV Art Association of Varaždin, and guide of the LUV Gallery.

Organizes produces and participates in art-based humanitarian actions and performance art installations.
“The power of life and will by which animals move their bodies with great and lasting force demonstrate that there has to be other undiscovered laws of motion.”
“The world is simple and complex, logical and weird, lawful and chaotic. Fundamental understanding does not resolve these dualities. Indeed, it highlights and deepens them. You can’t do justice to physical reality without taking complementarity to heart.”
“Poetry is more a threshold than a path, one constantly approached and constantly departed from, at which reader and writer undergo in their different ways the experience of being at the same time summoned and released…”
(TMM) The Metastabilian Movement is creative exploration~discovery of The Squiggle Sense of The Complementary Nature”—As an Art Movement it was co-founded in 2011 by Doc David Engstrøm, Dražen Pavlović Its vision, concepts, methods and criticism celebrate and are grounded in the “metastable mode” of brain~mind Coordination Dynamics (CD), the science of coordination pioneered by eminent neuroscientist J. A. Scott Kelso. The squiggle character ‘~’ symbolizes the complementary nature of complementary aspects as first stated in Kelso and Engstrøm's book, "The Complementary Nature" (MIT Press 2006). Metastabilians of any field explore, employ and express their works based in compelling, valuable new information about the human brain~mind.
"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."

(JASK) Pioneer of Coordination Dynamics (CD). Glenwood and Martha Creech Chair in Science. Prof. of Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, Psychology, Biological Sciences and Biomedical Science. Founder and Team Leader of the Human Brain and Behavior Laboratory. Author of “Dynamic Patterns” (1995). Co-author with D. A. Engstrøm of “The Complementary Nature” (2006) and "The Squiggle Sense - The Complementary Nature of the Metastable Brain~mind" (2024). Editor of Springer Series: "Understanding Complex Systems." Research interests: coordination in living things; connecting levels of brain and behavior through theory and experiment; principles and mechanisms of CD (sensorimotor integration, learning, perception, language, and development); Using brain imaging (EEG, MEG, fMRI) and behavioral measures.
“The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables discourse to continue. The danger is in the neatness of identifications.”
“I do not see any way to avoid the problem of coordination and still understand the physical basis of life.”
"Strange how things in the offing,
once they’re sensed,
convert to things foreknown;
and how what’s come upon is manifest
only in light of what has been gone through.
Seventh heaven may be the whole truth
of a sixth sense come to pass.
“The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”
“if you hold opposites together in your mind you will suspend your normal thinking and allow intelligence beyond rational thought to create a new form.”
