A constantly changing environment requires precise yet flexible timing of movements. Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS)-the temporal coordination of an action with events in a predictable external rhythm-is a fundamental human skill that contributes to optimal sensory-motor control in daily life. A large body of…

'Piotr J. Franaszczuk' 'Korosh Mahmoodi' 'Vasily E. Tarasov'] The transdisciplinary nature of science as a whole became evident as the necessity for the complex nature of phenomena to explain social and life science, along with the physical sciences, blossomed into complexity theory and most recently into…

Synchronization based state estimation tries to synchronize a model with the true evolution of a system via the observations. In practice, an extra term is added to the model equations which hampers growth of instabilities transversal to the synchronization manifold. Therefore, there is a very close connection between…

'Andrew A. Rouse' 'Sonja A. Kotz'] In this perspective paper, we focus on the study of synchronization abilities across the animal kingdom. We propose an ecological approach to studying nonhuman animal synchronization that begins from observations about when, how and why an animal might synchronize spontaneously with…

Interactive behavior among humans is governed by the dynamics of movement synchronization in a variety of repetitive tasks. This requires the interaction partners to perform for example rhythmic limb swinging or even goal-directed arm movements. Inspired by that essential feature of human interaction, we present a…

'Elad Shniderman' 'Daniel Weymouth' 'Nir Davidson' 'Moti Fridman'] The synchronization of human networks is essential for our civilization and understanding its dynamics is important to many aspects of our lives. Human ensembles were investigated, but in noisy environments and with limited control over the network…

'Stefan Schuster'] Exploration of chronobiological systems emerges as a growing research field within bioinformatics focusing on various applications in medicine, agriculture, and material sciences. From a systems biological perspective, the question arises whether biological control systems for regulation of…

The synchronization transition type has been the focus of attention in recent years because it is associated with many functional characteristics of the brain. In this paper, the synchronization transition in neural networks with sleep-related biological drives in Drosophila is investigated. An electrical synaptic…

'Baruch Barzel' 'Reuven Cohen' 'Stefano Boccaletti'] A chaotic dynamics is typically characterized by the emergence of strange attractors with their fractal or multifractal structure. On the other hand, chaotic synchronization is a unique emergent self-organization phenomenon in nature. Classically, synchronization was…

'Xueyong Wei' 'Ronghua Huan' 'Ion Stiharu'] Synchronization in microstructures is a widely explored domain due to its diverse dynamic traits and promising practical applications. Within synchronization analysis, the synchronization bandwidth serves as a pivotal metric. While current research predominantly focuses on…

Metronomes Authors: ['Ji Jia' 'Zhiwen Song' 'Weiqing Liu' 'Jürgen Kurths' 'Jinghua Xiao'] Triplet synchrony is an interesting state when the phases and the frequencies of three coupled oscillators fulfill the conditions of a triplet locking, whereas every pair of systems remains asynchronous. Experimental observation…

The past couple of decades produced a surge of interest in interaction synchrony. Moving from the study of behavioral coordination to investigating the coordination of psychophysiological and brain activity, relevant research has tackled a broad range of interactional settings with a multitude of measurement and…

The self-synchronization of rotors mounted on different vibrating bodies can be easily controlled by adjusting the coupling parameters. To reveal the synchronization characteristics of a weakly damped system with two rotors mounted on different vibrating bodies, we propose a simplified physical model. The topics…

The speed and paths of synchronization play a key role in the function of a system, which has not received enough attention up to now. In this work, we study the synchronization process of coupled logistic maps that reveals the common features of low-dimensional dissipative systems. A slowing down of synchronization…

Control of relative timing is critical in ensemble music performance. We hypothesize that players respond to and correct asynchronies in tone onsets that arise from fluctuations in their individual tempos. We propose a first-order linear phase correction model and demonstrate that optimal performance that minimizes…

The transition between synchronized and asynchronous behaviour of immobilized yeast cells of the strain Saccharomyces carlsbergensis was investigated by monitoring the autofluorescence of the coenzyme NADH. In populations of intermediate cell densities the individual cells remained oscillatory, whereas on the level of…

'Takako Fujioka' 'Jonathan Rubin'] Dancing and playing music require people to coordinate actions with auditory rhythms. In laboratory perception-action coordination tasks, people are asked to synchronize taps with a metronome. When synchronizing with a metronome, people tend to anticipate stimulus onsets, tapping…

Many instances of large-scale coordination occur in real-life social situations without the explicit awareness of the individuals involved. While the majority of research to date has examined dyadic interactions - those between two individuals - during intentional or deliberate coordination, the present review surveys…

Pairwise route synchronization constraints are commonly encountered in the field of service technician routing and scheduling and in the area of mobile care. Pairwise route synchronization refers to constraints that require that two technicians or home care workers visit the same location at exactly the same time. We…
