State-Dependent Communication Enhances Network Synchronization Synchronization occurs in many natural and artificial systems, which are often described as networks. Although synchronization requires communication between the individual systems or oscillators that form the network, the communication strategies that are responsible for synchronization are not always well understood. Most models of network synchronization assume that the connected... Read more →
