Statistical physics has proven to be a fruitful framework to describe phenomena outside the
realm of traditional physics. Recent years have witnessed an attempt by physicists to study …

A novel theoretical framework for an embodied, non-representational approach to language
that extends and deepens enactive theory, bridging the gap between sensorimotor skills and …

Topics These lecture notes are intended primarily for graduate students interested in
network systems, distributed algorithms, and cooperative control. The objective is to answer …

The emergence of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators is a fascinating
subject of multidisciplinary research. This survey reviews the vast literature on the theory …

Synchronization occurs in many natural and technological systems, from cardiac pacemaker
cells to coupled lasers. In the synchronized state, the individual cells or lasers coordinate the …

The emergence of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators is a fascinating topic
in various scientific disciplines. A widely adopted model of a coupled oscillator network is …

Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How
and why do these collective behaviors occur? Exploring how coordinated group patterns …

A proposal that an embodied cognition approach to music research—drawing on work in
computer science, psychology, brain science, and musicology—offers a promising …

In recent years, the concept of self-organization has been used to understand collective
behaviour of animals. The central tenet of self-organization is that simple repeated …

At the heart of the universe is a steady, insistent beat, the sound of cycles in sync. Along the
tidal rivers of Malaysia, thousands of fireflies congregate and flash in unison; the moon spins …
