Reliable and objective biomarkers promise to improve the assessment and treatment of
chronic pain. Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) is broadly available, easy to use …

The emergence of large-scale connectivity and synchronization are crucial to the structure,
function and failure of many complex socio-technical networks. Thus, there is great interest …

Synchronization processes play critical roles in the functionality of a wide range of both
natural and man-made systems. Recent work in physics and neuroscience highlights the …

Research into the neurobiological and psychosocial mechanisms involved in fibromyalgia
has progressed remarkably in recent years. Despite this, current accounts of fibromyalgia fail …

Recent studies indicate that a significant reorganization of cerebral networks may occur in
patients with chronic pain, but how immediate pain experience influences the organization …

Research on network percolation and synchronization has deepened our understanding of
abrupt changes in the macroscopic properties of complex engineered and natural systems …

We investigate the phenomenon of first-order transition [explosive synchronization (ES)] in
an adaptively coupled phase-frustrated bilayer multiplex network. We consider Sakaguchi …

Chronic pain is a major public health problem in the United States costing $635 billion
annually. Hospitalizations for chronic pain in childhood have increased almost tenfold in the …

1. Background Chronic pain is a major clinical challenge with an incidence of 20% to 25%
among the adult population worldwide, often reducing the quality of social and work life. 9 …

It is known that explosive synchronization (ES) in an isolated network of Kuramoto oscillators
with inertia is significantly enhanced by the presence of time delay. Here we show that time …
