Popis: In this letter, we experimentally demonstrate an efficient scheme to regulate the behaviour of coupled nonlinear oscillators through dynamic control of their interaction. It is observed that introducing intermittency in the interaction term as a function of time or the system state, predictably alters the dynamics of the constituent oscillators. Choosing the nature of the interaction - attractive or repulsive, allows for either suppression of oscillations or stimulation of activity. Two parameters $\Delta$ and $\tau$, that reign the extent of interaction among subsystems are introduced. They serve as a harness to access the entire range of possible behaviours from fixed points to chaos. For fixed values of system parameters and coupling strength, changing $\Delta$ and $\tau$ offers fine control over the dynamics of coupled subsystems. We show this experimentally using coupled Chua's circuits and elucidate their behaviour for a range of coupling parameters through detailed numerical simulations.
