Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) introduced by {\sc Kohonen} are, in principle, a powerful tool for this task. Up to now, however, its cluster identification part is still open to personal bias. The present paper suggests a new approach towards automated cluster identification based on a combination of SOMs with an eigenmode analysis that has recently been developed by {\sc Deuflhard et al.} in the context of molecular conformational dynamics. Details of the algorithm are worked out. Numerical examples from Data Mining and Molecular Dynamics are included.
