Regularly spiking neurons can be described as oscillators. In this article we review some of
the insights gained from this conceptualization and their relevance for systems …

The coexistence of coherent and incoherent dynamics in a population of identically coupled
oscillators is known as a chimera state,. Discovered in 2002, this counterintuitive dynamical …

Research on the synchronization of delay-coupled oscillator networks is reviewed. A
number of key research approaches using different models and methods are described, and …

Synchronization is crucial to wireless sensor networks due to their decentralized structure.
We propose an energy-efficient pulse-coupled synchronization strategy to achieve this goal …

The brain can efficiently receive and process weak signals, and reproducing signal
amplification is an important task. We investigate weak signal propagation in a coupled …

Populations of flashing fireflies, claps of applauding audience, cells of cardiac and circadian
pacemakers reach synchrony via event-triggered interactions, referred to as pulse …

Time delay is a general feature of all interactions. Although the effects of delayed interaction
are often neglected when the intrinsic dynamics is much slower than the coupling delay …

Synchronization is crucial to wireless sensor networks. Recently, a pulse-coupled
synchronization strategy that emulates biological pulse-coupled agents has been used to …

Onset and loss of synchronization in coupled oscillators are of fundamental importance in
understanding emergent behavior in natural and man-made systems, which range from …

The synchronization of pulse-coupled oscillators (PCOs) interacting on general (strongly)
connected graphs is addressed. It is shown that the network synchronizes if the phases are …
