Synchronization (original) (raw)

Last update: 21 Apr 2025 21:17
First version:

Synchronization in the brain probably deserves its own notebook. So does the influence of network toplogy on synchronization.

Things to work on: how well does the "generalized synchrony" notion itself generalize to systems with stochastic dynamics?
