Interpersonal movement synchrony (IMS) and brain-to-brain coupling play a crucial role in social behavior across species. In humans, IMS is often studied in structured tasks that require specific body movements, while spontaneous, unstructured movements have received less attention. In this study, we investigated both…

Resonance and synchronized rhythm are important phenomena and can be either constructive or destructive in dynamical systems in the nature, specifically in biology. There are many examples showing that the human’s body organs must maintain their rhythm in order to function properly. For instance, in the brain…

Humans manifest remarkable sensorimotor coordination abilities as showcased in the skilful performance expressed by orchestras and dance ensembles. In multi-agent interactions, sensorimotor loops that are normally involved in the control of one’s own movement must accommodate also for sensory data (e.g., visual…

Moving in synchrony to external rhythmic stimuli is an elementary function that humans regularly engage in. It is termed “sensorimotor synchronization” and it is governed by two main parameters, the period and the phase of the movement with respect to the external rhythm. There has been an extensive body of research on…

Synchronization is a fundamental property of biological neural networks, playing a mechanistic role in both healthy and disease brain states. The medullary pacemaker nucleus of the weakly electric fish is a synchronized network of high-frequency neurons, weakly coupled via gap junctions. Synchrony in the pacemaker is…

Neural synchrony in the brain is often present in an intermittent fashion, i.e., there are intervals of synchronized activity interspersed with intervals of desynchronized activity. A series of experimental studies showed that this kind of temporal patterning of neural synchronization may be very specific and may be…

Lonely people evaluate social exchanges negatively and display difficulties in interactions. Interpersonal synchronization is crucial for achieving positive interactions, promoting affinity, closeness, and satisfaction. However, little is known about lonely individuals’ ability to synchronize and about their brain…

The ability to synchronize bodily movements with regular auditory rhythm across a broad range of tempos underlies humans’ capacity for playing music and dancing. This capability is prevalent across human cultures but relatively uncommon among non-human species. Recent research indicates that monkeys can predictively…

The computational study of epileptic seizure dynamics has primarily focused on the identification of seizure onset zones and propagation pathways. Here, we present a network dynamical model implemented on the empirically measured mesoscale mouse brain network that reveals previously unresolved organizational principles…

The cell cycle is present in all cells of all species and it is of fundamental importance in coordinating all the steps required for cell replication, including growth, DNA replication and cell division. Budding yeast is an unicellular organism characterised by a mother cell that buds to generate a daughter cell at…

Behavioural synchrony among individuals is essential for group-living organisms to maintain their cohesiveness necessary to get information and against predation. It is still largely unknown how synchronization functions in a multilevel society, a nested assemblage of multiple social levels between many individuals.…

Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS), the rhythmic coordination of perception and action, is a fundamental human skill that supports many behaviors, from daily repetitive routines to the most complex behavioural coordination, including music and dance (45; 49). Research on SMS has been mostly conducted in the laboratory…

Control of movement requires the coordination of multiple brain areas, each containing populations of neurons that receive inputs, process these inputs via recurrent dynamics, and then relay the processed information to downstream populations. Information transmission between neural populations could occur through…

The cell cycle consists of a series of orchestrated events controlled by molecular sensing and feedback networks that ultimately drive the duplication of total DNA and the subsequent division of a single parent cell into two daughter cells. The ability to block the cell cycle and synchronize cells within the same phase…
