Many group-living animals, humans included, occasionally synchronize their behavior with that of conspecifics. Social psychology and neuroscience have attempted to explain this phenomenon. Here we sought to integrate results around three themes: the stimuli, the mechanisms and the benefits of interactional synchrony.…

Measuring interpersonal synchrony is a promising approach to assess the complexity of social interaction, which however has been mostly limited to dyads. In this study, we introduce multivariate Surrogate Synchrony (mv-SUSY) to extend the current set of computational methods. Methods: mv-SUSY was applied to eight…

'Martin Tröndle' 'Melanie Wald-Fuhrmann' 'Christoph Seibert' 'Christian Weining' 'Deborah Meier'] A study of 132 audience members of three classical public concerts (all three staged the same chamber music pieces by Ludwig van Beethoven, Brett Dean, and Johannes Brahms) had the goal of analyzing the physiological and…

'Morgan K. Taylor'] From Australia to the Arctic, human groups engage in synchronous behaviour during communal rituals. Because ritualistic synchrony is widespread, many argue that it is functional for human groups, encouraging large-scale cooperation and group cohesion. Here, we offer a more nuanced perspective on…

Synchronized behavior among individuals, broadly defined, is a ubiquitous feature of populations. Understanding mechanisms of (de)synchronization demands meaningful, interpretable, computable quantifications of synchrony, relevant to measurements that can be made of complex, dynamic populations. Despite the importance…

Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Anthropogenic activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological…

To examine how individuals perceive synchrony between music and body motion, we investigated the characteristics of synchrony perception during observation of a Japanese Radio Calisthenics routine. We used the constant stimuli method to present video clips of an individual performing an exercise routine. We generated…

'Daniel S. Margulies' 'Bard Ermentrout'] Previous research on interpersonal synchrony has mainly investigated small groups in isolated laboratory settings, which may not fully reflect the complex and dynamic interactions of real-life social situations. The present study expands on this by examining group synchrony…

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…

Dance is a promising rehabilitation adjunct but understanding the mechanisms through which dance improves physical and psychosocial well-being is necessary for implementation. This study investigated the feasibility of a measure of one possible mechanism: partner synchrony. Secondary objectives were to examine the…

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…

Synchronization by exchange of pulses is a widespread phenomenon, observed in flashing fireflies, applauding audiences and the neuronal network of the brain. Hitherto the focus has been on integrate-and-fire oscillators. Here we consider entirely analytic time evolution. Oscillators exchange narrow but finite pulses.…

Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by impaired social skills and accompanied by motor and perceptual atypicalities. Its etiology is an open question, partly due to the diverse range of associated difficulties. Based on recent observations that individuals with autism are slow in updating perceptual…

Spontaneous synchronization of an ensemble of metronomes placed on a freely rotating platform is studied experimentally and by computer simulations. A striking in-phase synchronization is observed when the metronomes' beat frequencies are fixed above a critical limit. Increasing the number of metronomes placed on the…

Most methods for Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) in the partial synchrony setting divide the local state of the nodes into views, and the transition from one view to the next dictates a leader change. In order to provide liveness, all honest nodes need to stay in the same view for a sufficiently long time. This…

Inverse dynamics analysis is the primary means of quantifying joint moments and powers from biomechanical data. The data are often combined from force plates, motion capture cameras, and perhaps body-worn inertial sensors, and must be temporally synchronized to avoid potentially large inverse dynamics errors. The…

Gas-evolving photochemical reactions use mild conditions to access strained organic compounds irreversibly. Cyclopropenones are a class of pseudo-aromatic light-responsive molecules used in bioorthogonal photoclick reactions; their excited-state decarbonylation reaction mechanisms are misunderstood due to their…
