Abstract
We propose a machine-learning approach to construct reduced-order models (ROMs) to predict the long-term out-of-sample dynamics of brain activity (and in general, high-dimensional time series), focusing mainly on task-dependent high-dimensional fMRI time series. Our approach is a three stage one. First, we exploit manifold learning and, in particular, diffusion maps (DMs) to discover a set of variables that parametrize the latent space on which the emergent high-dimensional fMRI time series evolve. Then, we construct ROMs on the embedded manifold via two techniques: Feedforward Neural Networks (FNNs) and the Koopman operator. Finally, for predicting the out-of-sample long-term dynamics of brain activity in the ambient fMRI space, we solve the pre-image problem, i.e., the construction of a map from the low-dimensional manifold to the original high-dimensional (ambient) space by coupling DMs with Geometric Harmonics (GH) when using FNNs and the Koopman modes per se. For our illustrations, we have assessed the performance of the two proposed schemes using two benchmark fMRI time series: (i) a simplistic five-dimensional model of stochastic discrete-time equations used just for a "transparent" illustration of the approach, thus knowing a priori what one expects to get, and (ii) a real fMRI dataset with recordings during a visuomotor task. We show that the proposed Koopman operator approach provides, for any practical purposes, equivalent results to the FNN-GH approach, thus bypassing the need to train a non-linear map and to use GH to extrapolate predictions in the ambient space; one can use instead the low-frequency truncation of the DMs function space of L2-integrable functions to predict the entire list of coordinate functions in the ambient space and to solve the pre-image problem.

Abstract
Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon in the brain. Despite numerous studies, the specific parameter configurations of the synaptic network structure and learning rules needed to achieve robust and enduring synchronization in neurons driven by spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) and temporal networks subject to homeostatic structural plasticity (HSP) rules remain unclear. Here, we bridge this gap by determining the configurations required to achieve high and stable degrees of complete synchronization (CS) and phase synchronization (PS) in time-varying small-world and random neural networks driven by STDP and HSP. In particular, we found that decreasing P (which enhances the strengthening effect of STDP on the average synaptic weight) and increasing F (which speeds up the swapping rate of synapses between neurons) always lead to higher and more stable degrees of CS and PS in small-world and random networks, provided that the network parameters such as the synaptic time delay [Formula: see text], the average degree [Formula: see text], and the rewiring probability [Formula: see text] have some appropriate values. When [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are not fixed at these appropriate values, the degree and stability of CS and PS may increase or decrease when F increases, depending on the network topology. It is also found that the time delay [Formula: see text] can induce intermittent CS and PS whose occurrence is independent F. Our results could have applications in designing neuromorphic circuits for optimal information processing and transmission via synchronization phenomena.

Abstract
We study the entrainment of a localized pattern to an external signal via its coupling to zero modes associated with broken symmetries. We show that when the pattern breaks internal symmetries, entrainment is governed by a multiple degrees-of-freedom dynamical system that has a universal structure, defined by the symmetry group and its breaking. We derive explicitly the universal locking dynamics for entrainment of patterns breaking internal phase symmetry, and calculate the locking domains and the stability and bifurcations of entrainment of complex Ginzburg-Landau solitons by an external pulse.

Abstract
Phase slips are a typical dynamical behavior in coupled oscillator systems: the route to phase synchrony is characterized by intervals of constant phase difference interrupted by abrupt changes in the phase difference. Qualitatively similar to stick-slip phenomena, analysis of phase slip has mainly relied on identifying remnants of saddle-nodes or "ghosts." We study sets of phase oscillators and by examining the dynamics in detail, offer a more precise, quantitative description of the phenomenon. Phase shifts and phase sticks, namely, the temporary locking of phases required for phase slips, occur at stationary points of phase velocities. In networks of coupled phase oscillators, we show that phase slips between pairs of individual oscillators do not occur simultaneously, in general. We consider additional systems that show phase synchrony: one where saddle-node ghosts are absent, one where the coupling is similarity dependent, and two cases of coupled chaotic oscillators.

Abstract
The transition from asynchronous dynamics to generalized chaotic synchronization and then to completely synchronous dynamics is known to be accompanied by on-off intermittency. We show that there is another (second) type of the transition called jump intermittency which occurs near the boundary of generalized synchronization in chaotic systems with complex two-sheeted attractors. Although this transient behavior also exhibits intermittent dynamics, it differs sufficiently from on-off intermittency supposed hitherto to be the only type of motion corresponding to the transition to generalized synchronization. This type of transition has been revealed and the underling mechanism has been explained in both unidirectionally and mutually coupled chaotic Lorenz and Chen oscillators. To detect the epochs of synchronous and asynchronous motion in mutually coupled oscillators with complex topology of an attractor a technique based on finding time intervals when the phase trajectories are located on equal or different sheets of chaotic attractors of coupled oscillators has been developed. We have also shown that in the unidirectionally coupled systems the proposed technique gives the same results that may obtained with the help of the traditional method using the auxiliary system approach.

Abstract
The synchronization transition in coupled non-smooth systems is studied for increasing coupling strength. The average order parameter is calculated to diagnose synchronization of coupled non-smooth systems. It is found that the coupled non-smooth system exhibits an intermittent synchronization transition from the cluster synchronization state to the complete synchronization state, depending on the coupling strength and initial conditions. Detailed numerical analyses reveal that the discontinuity always plays an important role in the synchronization transition of the coupled non-smooth system. In addition, it is found that increasing the coupling strength leads to the coexistence of periodic cluster states. Detailed research illustrates that the periodic clusters consist of two or more coexisting periodic attractors. Their periodic trajectory passes from one region to another region that is divided by discontinuous boundaries in the phase space. The mutual interactions of the local nonlinearity and the spatial coupling ultimately result in a stable periodic trajectory.

Abstract
The birhythmic oscillation, generally known as birhythmicity, arises in a plethora of physical, chemical, and biological systems. In this paper we investigate the effect of filtered feedback on birhythmicity as both are relevant in many living and engineering systems. We show that the presence of a low-pass filter in the feedback path of a birhythmic system suppresses birhythmicity and supports monorhythmic oscillations depending on the filtering parameter. Using harmonic decomposition and energy balance methods we determine the conditions for which birhythmicity is removed. We carry out a detailed bifurcation analysis to unveil the mechanism behind the quenching of birhythmic oscillations. Finally, we demonstrate our theoretical findings in analog simulation with electronic circuit. This study may have practical applications in quenching birhythmicity in several biochemical and physical systems.

Abstract
A thermoacoustic chaotic oscillator is a fluid system that presents thermally induced chaotic oscillations of a gas column. This study experimentally reports a bifurcation diagram when two thermoacoustic chaotic oscillators are dissipatively coupled to each other. The two-parameter bifurcation diagram is constructed by varying the frequency mismatch and the coupling strength. Complete chaos synchronization is observed in the region with a frequency mismatch of less than 1% of the uncoupled oscillator. In other regions, synchronization between quasiperiodic oscillations and that between limit-cycle oscillations and amplitude death are observed as well as asynchronous states.

Abstract
We present a study focused on a quantitative estimation of a human-horse dynamic interaction. A set of measures based on magnitude and phase coupling between heartbeat dynamics of both humans and horses in three different conditions is reported: no interaction, visual/olfactory interaction and grooming. Specifically, Magnitude Squared Coherence (MSC), Mean Phase Coherence (MPC) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) have been used as estimators of the amount of coupling between human and horse through the analysis of their heart rate variability (HRV) time series in a group of eleven human subjects, and one horse. The rationale behind this study is that the interaction of two complex biological systems go towards a coupling process whose dynamical evolution is modulated by the kind and time duration of the interaction itself. We achieved a congruent and consistent statistical significant difference for all of the three indices. Moreover, a Nearest Mean Classifier was able to recognize the three classes of interaction with an accuracy greater than 70%. Although preliminary, these encouraging results allow a discrimination of three distinct phases in a real human-animal interaction opening to the characterization of the empirically proven relationship between human and horse.

Abstract
Phase synchronization, viz., the adjustment of instantaneous frequencies of two interacting self-sustained nonlinear oscillators, is frequently used for the detection of a possible interrelationship between empirical data recordings. In this context, the proper estimation of the instantaneous phase from a time series is a crucial aspect. The probability that numerical estimates provide a physically relevant meaning depends sensitively on the shape of its power spectral density. For this purpose, the power spectrum should be narrow banded possessing only one prominent peak [M. Chavez et al., J. Neurosci. Methods 154, 149 (2006)]. If this condition is not fulfilled, band-pass filtering seems to be the adequate technique in order to pre-process data for a posterior synchronization analysis. However, it was reported that band-pass filtering might induce spurious synchronization [L. Xu et al., Phys. Rev. E 73, 065201(R), (2006); J. Sun et al., Phys. Rev. E 77, 046213 (2008); and J. Wang and Z. Liu, EPL 102, 10003 (2013)], a statement that without further specification causes uncertainty over all measures that aim to quantify phase synchronization of broadband field data. We show by using signals derived from different test frameworks that appropriate filtering does not induce spurious synchronization. Instead, filtering in the time domain tends to wash out existent phase interrelations between signals. Furthermore, we show that measures derived for the estimation of phase synchronization like the mean phase coherence are also useful for the detection of interrelations between time series, which are not necessarily derived from coupled self-sustained nonlinear oscillators.

Abstract
We present the experimental evidence of deterministic coherence resonance in unidirectionally coupled two and three Rössler electronic oscillators with mismatch between their natural frequencies. The regularity in both the amplitude and the phase of chaotic fluctuations is experimentally proven by the analyses of normalized standard deviations of the peak amplitude and interpeak interval and Lyapunov exponents. The resonant chaos suppression appears when the coupling strength is increased and the oscillators are in phase synchronization. In two coupled oscillators, the coherence enhancement is associated with negative third and fourth Lyapunov exponents, while the largest first and second exponents remain positive. Distinctly, in three oscillators coupled in a ring, all exponents become negative, giving rise to periodicity. Numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experiments.

Abstract
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are invaluable neuroscientific tools for unveiling human neural dynamics in three dimensions (space, time, and frequency), which are associated with a wide variety of perceptions, cognition, and actions. MEG/EEG also provides different categories of neuronal indices including activity magnitude, connectivity, and network properties along the three dimensions. In the last 20 years, interest has increased in inter-regional connectivity and complex network properties assessed by various sophisticated scientific analyses. We herein review the definition, computation, short history, and pros and cons of connectivity and complex network (graph-theory) analyses applied to MEG/EEG signals. We briefly describe recent developments in source reconstruction algorithms essential for source-space connectivity and network analyses. Furthermore, we discuss a relatively novel approach used in MEG/EEG studies to examine the complex dynamics represented by human brain activity. The correct and effective use of these neuronal metrics provides a new insight into the multi-dimensional dynamics of the neural representations of various functions in the complex human brain.

Abstract
The revival of oscillation and maintaining rhythmicity in a network of coupled oscillators offer an open challenge to researchers as the cessation of oscillation often leads to a fatal system degradation and an irrecoverable malfunctioning in many physical, biological, and physiological systems. Recently a general technique of restoration of rhythmicity in diffusively coupled networks of nonlinear oscillators has been proposed in Zou et al. [Nat. Commun. 6, 7709 (2015)], where it is shown that a proper feedback parameter that controls the rate of diffusion can effectively revive oscillation from an oscillation suppressed state. In this paper we show that the mean-field diffusive coupling, which can suppress oscillation even in a network of identical oscillators, can be modified in order to revoke the cessation of oscillation induced by it. Using a rigorous bifurcation analysis we show that, unlike other diffusive coupling schemes, here one has two control parameters, namely the density of the mean-field and the feedback parameter that can be controlled to revive oscillation from a death state. We demonstrate that an appropriate choice of density of the mean field is capable of inducing rhythmicity even in the presence of complete diffusion, which is a unique feature of this mean-field coupling that is not available in other coupling schemes. Finally, we report the experimental observation of revival of oscillation from the mean-field-induced oscillation suppression state that supports our theoretical results.

Pulse and entrainment to non-isochronous auditory stimuli: the case of north Indian alap. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0123247.

Abstract
Pulse is often understood as a feature of a (quasi-) isochronous event sequence that is picked up by an entrained subject. However, entrainment does not only occur between quasi-periodic rhythms. This paper demonstrates the expression of pulse by subjects listening to non-periodic musical stimuli and investigates the processes behind this behaviour. The stimuli are extracts from the introductory sections of North Indian (Hindustani) classical music performances (alap, jor and jhala). The first of three experiments demonstrates regular motor responses to both irregular alap and more regular jor sections: responses to alap appear related to individual spontaneous tempi, while for jor they relate to the stimulus event rate. A second experiment investigated whether subjects respond to average periodicities of the alap section, and whether their responses show phase alignment to the musical events. In the third experiment we investigated responses to a broader sample of performances, testing their relationship to spontaneous tempo, and the effect of prior experience with this music. Our results suggest an entrainment model in which pulse is understood as the experience of one’s internal periodicity: it is not necessarily linked to temporally regular, structured sensory input streams; it can arise spontaneously through the performance of repetitive motor actions, or on exposure to event sequences with rather irregular temporal structures. Greater regularity in the external event sequence leads to entrainment between motor responses and stimulus sequence, modifying subjects’ internal periodicities in such a way that they are either identical or harmonically related to each other. This can be considered as the basis for shared (rhythmic) experience and may be an important process supporting ‘social’ effects of temporally regular music.

Abstract
Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon that occurs among interacting oscillatory systems. It facilitates their temporal coordination and can lead to the emergence of spontaneous order. The detection of synchronization from the time series of such systems is of great importance for the understanding and prediction of their dynamics, and several methods for doing so have been introduced. However, the common case where the interacting systems have time-variable characteristic frequencies and coupling parameters, and may also be subject to continuous external perturbation and noise, still presents a major challenge. Here we apply recent developments in dynamical Bayesian inference to tackle these problems. In particular, we discuss how to detect phase slips and the existence of deterministic coupling from measured data, and we unify the concepts of phase synchronization and general synchronization. Starting from phase or state observables, we present methods for the detection of both phase and generalized synchronization. The consistency and equivalence of phase and generalized synchronization are further demonstrated, by the analysis of time series from analog electronic simulations of coupled nonautonomous van der Pol oscillators. We demonstrate that the detection methods work equally well on numerically simulated chaotic systems. In all the cases considered, we show that dynamical Bayesian inference can clearly identify noise-induced phase slips and distinguish coherence from intrinsic coupling-induced synchronization.

Abstract
The auxiliary system approach being de facto the standard for the study of generalized synchronization in the unidirectionally coupled chaotic oscillators is also widely used to examine the mutually coupled systems and networks of nonlinear elements with the complex topology of links between nodes. In this Brief Report we illustrate by two simple counterexamples that the auxiliary-system approach gives incorrect results for the mutually coupled oscillators and therefore to study the generalized synchronization this approach may be used only for the drive-response configuration of nonlinear oscillators and networks.

Abstract
We introduce a concept of generalized synchronization, able to encompass the setting of collective synchronized behavior for mutually coupled systems and networking systems featuring complex topologies in their connections. The onset of the synchronous regime is confirmed by the dependence of the system's Lyapunov exponents on the coupling parameter. The presence of a generalized synchronization regime is verified by means of the nearest neighbor method.

Abstract
We study the manner in which the effect of an external drive is transmitted through mutually coupled response systems by examining the phase synchrony between the drive and the response. Two different coupling schemes are used. Homogeneous couplings are via the same variables while heterogeneous couplings are through different variables. With the latter scenario, synchronization regimes are truncated with an increasing number of mutually coupled oscillators in contrast to homogeneous coupling schemes. Our results are illustrated for systems of coupled chaotic Rössler oscillators.

Abstract
In this paper we report on the necessity of the refinement of the concept of generalized chaotic synchronization. We show that the state vectors of the interacting chaotic systems being in the generalized synchronization regime are related to each other by the functional, but not the functional relation as it was assumed until now. We propose the phase tube approach explaining the essence of generalized synchronization and allowing the detection and the study of this regime in many relevant physical circumstances. The finding discussed in this Brief Report provides great potential for different applications.

Abstract
The chaotic phase synchronization transition is studied in connection with the zero Lyapunov exponent. We propose a hypothesis that it is associated with a switching of the maximal finite-time zero Lyapunov exponent, which is introduced in the framework of a large deviation analysis. A noisy sine circle map is investigated to introduce this hypothesis and it is tested in an unidirectionally coupled Rössler system by using the covariant Lyapunov vector associated with the zero Lyapunov exponent.

Abstract
Nonlinear oscillators that are mutually coupled via dissimilar (or conjugate) variables display distinct regimes of synchronous behavior. In identical chaotic oscillators diffusively coupled in this manner, complete synchronization occurs only by chaos suppression when the coupled subsystems drive each other into a regime of periodic dynamics. Furthermore, the coupling does not vanish but acts as an "internal" drive. When the oscillators are mismatched, phase synchronization occurs, while in a master slave configuration, generalized synchrony results. These effects are demonstrated in a system of coupled chaotic Rossler oscillators.

Abstract
Phase synchronization is an important phenomenon of nonlinear dynamics and has recently received much scientific attention. In this work a method for identifying phase synchronization epochs is described which focuses on estimating the gradient of segments of the generalized phase differences between phase slips in an experimental time series. In phase synchronized systems, there should be a zero gradient of the generalized phase differences even if the systems are contaminated by noise. A method which tests if the gradient of the generalized phase difference is statistically different from zero is reported. The method has been validated by numerical studies on model systems and by comparing the results to those published previously. The method is applied to cardiorespiratory time series from a human volunteer measured in clinical settings and compared to synchrogram analysis for the same data. Potential problems with synchrogram analysis of experimental data are discussed.

Abstract
A method that combines the means of unscented Kalman filter (UKF) with the technique of synchronization-based parameter estimation is introduced for estimating unknown parameters of neuron when only a heavily noise-corrupted time series of active potential is given. Compared with other synchronization-based methods, this approach uses the state variables estimated by UKF instead of the measured data to drive the auxiliary system. The synchronization-based approach supplies a systematic and analytical procedure for estimating parameters from time series; however, it is only robust against weak noise of measurement, so the UKF is employed to estimate state variables which are used by the synchronization-based method to estimate all unknown parameters of neuron model. It is found out that the estimation accuracy of this combined method is much higher than only using UKF or synchronization-based method when the data of measurement were heavily noise corrupted.

Abstract
The notion of phase synchronization in time-delay systems, exhibiting highly non-phase-coherent attractors, has not been realized yet even though it has been well studied in chaotic dynamical systems without delay. We report the identification of phase synchronization in coupled nonidentical piecewise linear and in coupled Mackey-Glass time-delay systems with highly non-phase-coherent regimes. We show that there is a transition from nonsynchronized behavior to phase and then to generalized synchronization as a function of coupling strength. We have introduced a transformation to capture the phase of the non-phase-coherent attractors, which works equally well for both the time-delay systems. The instantaneous phases of the above coupled systems calculated from the transformed attractors satisfy both the phase and mean frequency locking conditions. These transitions are also characterized in terms of recurrence-based indices, namely generalized autocorrelation function P(t), correlation of probability of recurrence, joint probability of recurrence, and similarity of probability of recurrence. We have quantified the different synchronization regimes in terms of these indices. The existence of phase synchronization is also characterized by typical transitions in the Lyapunov exponents of the coupled time-delay systems.

Abstract
We present an approach which enables one to identify phase synchronization in coupled chaotic oscillators without having to explicitly measure the phase. We show that if one defines a typical event in one oscillator and then observes another one whenever this event occurs, these observations give rise to a localized set. Our result provides a general and easy way to identify PS, which can also be used to oscillators that possess multiple time scales. We illustrate our approach in networks of chemically coupled neurons. We show that clusters of phase synchronous neurons may emerge before the onset of phase synchronization in the whole network, producing a suitable environment for information exchanging. Furthermore, we show the relation between the localized sets and the amount of information that coupled chaotic oscillator can exchange.

Abstract
Coupled nonlinear systems under certain conditions exhibit phase synchronization, which may change for different frequency bands or with the presence of additive system noise. In both cases, Fourier filtering is traditionally used to preprocess data. We investigate to what extent the phase synchronization of two coupled Rössler oscillators depends on (1) the broadness of their power spectrum, (2) the width of the bandpass filter, and (3) the level of added noise. We find that for identical coupling strengths, oscillators with broader power spectra exhibit weaker synchronization. Further, we find that within a broad bandwidth range, bandpass filtering reduces the effect of noise but can lead to a spurious increase in the degree of phase synchronization with narrowing bandwidth, even when the coupling between the two oscillators remains the same.

Abstract
In this paper, we summarize our experimental observations on complex-oscillatory spiral waves that arise in a Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction-diffusion system. The observed wave structures generically bear line defects across which the phase of local oscillation changes by a multiple of 2 pi. The local oscillation at every spatial point along a line defect of period-2 (P-2) oscillatory media is period-1 (P-1) oscillatory. For the homogeneous BZ reaction can be excitable, simply periodic, complex periodic, or chaotic as the control parameters are tuned, a number of different complex wave states are revealed. A two-dimensional phase diagram, which includes domains of P-2 oscillatory spirals, intermittently breathing spirals, period-3 (P-3) oscillatory spirals, two different types of mixed-mode periodic spirals, and line-defect-mediated turbulence, is constructed. Several different transitions among different dynamic states are described systematically. In all cases, line defects are found to play an important role.

Abstract
We study the transition to phase synchronization in two diffusively coupled, nonidentical Chua oscillators. In the experiments, depending on the used parameterization, we observe several distinct routes to phase synchronization, including states of either in-phase, out-of-phase, or antiphase synchronization, which may be intersected by an intermediate desynchronization regime with large fluctuations of the frequency difference. Furthermore, we report the first experimental evidence of an anomalous transition to phase synchronization, which is characterized by an initial enlargement of the natural frequency difference with coupling strength. This results in a maximal frequency disorder at intermediate coupling levels, whereas usual phase synchronization via monotonic decrease in frequency difference sets in only for larger coupling values. All experimental results are supported by numerical simulations of two coupled Chua models.

Abstract
We employ an adaptive parameter control technique based on detection of phase/lag synchrony between the elements of the system to dynamically modify the structure of a network of nonidentical, coupled Rossler oscillators. Two processes are simulated: adaptation, under which the initially different properties of the units converge, and rewiring, in which clusters of interconnected elements are formed based on the temporal correlations. We show how those processes lead to different network structures and investigate their optimal characteristics from the point of view of resulting network properties.

Abstract
Usually, complete synchronization (CS) is regarded as the form of synchronization proper of identical chaotic systems, while generalized synchronization (GS) extends CS in nonidentical systems. However, this generally accepted view ignores the role that the coupling plays in determining the type of synchronization. In this work, we show that by choosing appropriate coupling strategies, CS can be observed in coupled chaotic systems with parameter mismatch, and GS can also be achieved in coupled identical systems. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate these findings. Moreover, experimental verification based on electronic circuits has been carried out to support the numerical results. Our work provides a method to obtain robust CS in synchronization-based chaos communications.

Abstract
We investigate the relationship between the blood flow velocities (BFV) in the middle cerebral arteries and beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP) recorded from a finger in healthy and post-stroke subjects during the quasisteady state after perturbation for four different physiologic conditions: supine rest, head-up tilt, hyperventilation, and CO2 rebreathing in upright position. To evaluate whether instantaneous BP changes in the steady state are coupled with instantaneous changes in the BFV, we compare dynamical patterns in the instantaneous phases of these signals, obtained from the Hilbert transform, as a function of time. We find that in post-stroke subjects the instantaneous phase increments of BP and BFV exhibit well-pronounced patterns that remain stable in time for all four physiologic conditions, while in healthy subjects these patterns are different, less pronounced, and more variable. We propose an approach based on the cross-correlation of the instantaneous phase increments to quantify the coupling between BP and BFV signals. We find that the maximum correlation strength is different for the two groups and for the different conditions. For healthy subjects the amplitude of the cross-correlation between the instantaneous phase increments of BP and BFV is small and attenuates within 3-5 heartbeats. In contrast, for post-stroke subjects, this amplitude is significantly larger and cross-correlations persist up to 20 heartbeats. Further, we show that the instantaneous phase increments of BP and BFV are cross-correlated even within a single heartbeat cycle. We compare the results of our approach with three complementary methods: direct BP-BFV cross-correlation, transfer function analysis, and phase synchronization analysis. Our findings provide insight into the mechanism of cerebral vascular control in healthy subjects, suggesting that this control mechanism may involve rapid adjustments (within a heartbeat) of the cerebral vessels, so that BFV remains steady in response to changes in peripheral BP.

Abstract
We propose a general framework for detecting and characterizing phase synchronization from noisy, nonstationary time series. For detection, we propose to use the average phase-synchronization time and show that it is extremely sensitive to parameter changes near the onset of phase synchronization. To characterize the degree of temporal phase synchronization, we suggest to monitor the evolution of phase diffusion from a moving time window and argue that this measure is practically useful as it can be enhanced by increasing the size of the window. While desynchronization events can be caused by either a lack of sufficient deterministic coupling or noise, we demonstrate that the time scales associated with the two mechanisms are quite different. In particular, noise-induced desynchronization events tend to occur on much shorter time scales. This allows for the effect of noise on phase synchronization to be corrected in a practically doable manner. We perform a control study to substantiate these findings by constructing and investigating a prototype model of nonstationary dynamical system that consists of coupled chaotic oscillators with time-varying coupling parameter.

Abstract
Multivariate time series analysis is extensively used in neurophysiology with the aim of studying the relationship between simultaneously recorded signals. Recently, advances on information theory and nonlinear dynamical systems theory have allowed the study of various types of synchronization from time series. In this work, we first describe the multivariate linear methods most commonly used in neurophysiology and show that they can be extended to assess the existence of nonlinear interdependence between signals. We then review the concepts of entropy and mutual information followed by a detailed description of nonlinear methods based on the concepts of phase synchronization, generalized synchronization and event synchronization. In all cases, we show how to apply these methods to study different kinds of neurophysiological data. Finally, we illustrate the use of multivariate surrogate data test for the assessment of the strength (strong or weak) and the type (linear or nonlinear) of interdependence between neurophysiological signals.

Abstract
Temporal correlations in the brain are thought to have very dichotomous roles. On one hand they are ubiquitously present in the healthy brain and are thought to underlie feature binding during information processing. On the other hand, large-scale synchronization is an underlying mechanism of epileptic seizures. In this paper we show a potential mechanism for the transition to pathological coherence underlying seizure generation. We show that properties of phase synchronization in a two-dimensional lattice of nonidentical coupled Hindmarsh-Rose neurons change radically depending on the connectivity structure of the network. We modify the connectivity using the small world network paradigm and measure properties of phase synchronization using a previously developed measure based on assessment of the distributions of relative interspike intervals. We show that the temporal ordering undergoes a dramatic change as a function of topology of the network from local coherence strongly dependent on the distance between two neurons, to global coherence exhibiting a larger degree of ordering and spanning the whole network.

Abstract
In this paper, we numerically investigate phase synchronization between two coupled essentially different chaotic oscillators in drive-response configuration. It is shown that phase synchronization can be observed between two coupled systems despite the difference and the large frequency detuning between them. Moreover, the relation between phase synchronization and generalized synchronization is compared with that in coupled parametrically different systems. In the systems studied, it is found that phase synchronization occurs after generalized synchronization in coupled essentially different chaotic systems.

Abstract
We made use of multivariate nonlinear analysis methods to study the interdependence between the cardiac interval variability and both the respiratory activity and the systolic pressure in rats. The study was carried out in basal conditions and after the application of different drugs affecting the cardiovascular system. The results showed that there are changes both in the extent and in the directionality of such interdependences because of the drugs. The inhibition of the NO and the parasympathetic blockade changed the cardiovascular coordination, with the latter one also modifying the interdependence between the cardiac interval and the respiratory signal. This suggests that the nonlinear approach might be very helpful to explore the interaction between subsystems of the cardiovascular control system.

Abstract
Experiments on phase and generalized synchronization of two coupled, nonidentical chaotic electrochemical oscillations are presented. We adapt measures of characterizing synchronization of a non-phase-coherent chaotic behavior and compare its properties and physicochemical mechanism to those of a phase-coherent behavior. Phase synchronization sets in along with the onset of generalized synchronization for the non-phase-coherent oscillations in contrast to phase-coherent oscillations in which the phase synchronization usually occurs at a weaker coupling strength.

Abstract
We study chaotic phase synchronization of unidirectionally coupled deterministic chaotic ratchets. The coupled ratchets were simulated in their chaotic states and perfect phase locking was observed as the coupling was gradually increased. We identified the region of phase synchronization for the ratchets and show that the transition to chaotic phase synchronization is via an interior crisis transition to strange attractor in the phase space.

Abstract
The study of functional interdependences between brain regions is a rapidly growing focus of neuroscience research. This endeavor has been greatly facilitated by the appearance of a number of innovative methodologies for the examination of neurophysiological and neuroimaging data. The aim of this article is to present an overview of dynamical measures of interdependence and contrast these with statistical measures that have been more widely employed. We first review the motivation, conceptual basis, and experimental approach of dynamical measures of interdependence and their application to the study of neural systems. A consideration of boot-strap "surrogate data" techniques, which facilitate hypothesis testing of dynamical measures, is then used to clarify the difference between dynamical and statistical measures of interdependence. An overview of some of the most active research areas such as the study of the "synchronization manifold," dynamical interdependence in neurophysiology data and the putative role of nonlinear desynchronization is then given. We conclude by suggesting that techniques based on dynamical interdependence--or "dynamical connectivity"--show significant potential for extracting meaningful information from functional neuroimaging data.

Abstract
We show that the internal control of adaptation can be obtained from the properties of the phase lag that results from phase synchronization of two nonidentical chaotic oscillators. The direction and magnitude of the phase lag depend upon the relative internal properties of the coupled units, and they can be used as indicators during the adjustment of dynamics, i.e., adaptation of the target unit to match that of the control. The properties of the phase lag are obtained using a method based on the estimation of properties of the distributions of relative event times of both (target and control) units. The phase lag dependent mechanism to control the adaptation process was applied to a system of nonidentical Rössler oscillators and a system of nonidentical Lorenz oscillators. We also elucidate its importance as a control mechanism of the changes of neuronal activity showing its application to neural adaptation.

Abstract
This paper deals with the chaotic oscillator synchronization. An approach to the synchronization of chaotic oscillators has been proposed. This approach is based on the analysis of different time scales in the time series generated by the coupled chaotic oscillators. It has been shown that complete synchronization, phase synchronization, lag synchronization, and generalized synchronization are the particular cases of the synchronized behavior called "time-scale synchronization." The quantitative measure of chaotic oscillator synchronous behavior has been proposed. This approach has been applied for the coupled Rössler systems and two coupled Chua's circuits.

Abstract
An approach is presented for the reconstruction of phase synchronization phenomena in a chaotic CO2 laser from experimental data. We analyze this laser system in a regime able to phase synchronize with a weak sinusoidal forcing. Our technique recovers the synchronization diagram of the experimental system from only few measurement data sets, thus allowing the prediction of the regime of phase synchronization as well as nonsynchronization in a broad parameter space of forcing frequency and amplitude without further experiments.

Abstract
In this paper we report numerical and experimental studies of the dynamic control of the inter-anode plasma of a double electrical discharge and of a system of two coupled nonlinear oscillators modeling this plasma. We compare the transition between chaotic dynamics and periodic dynamics induced by a sinusoidal perturbation and by small-dispersion Gaussian noise. Besides considerable differences between the effect of the two types of perturbation we also find important similarities. For small amplitude, both the sinusoidal and the white noise perturbations can induce the system to change from chaotic to regular dynamics. In the case of sinusoidal perturbation, the transition time from the chaotic to regular state has a definite duration that depends on the values of the perturbation parameters. The suppression of the perturbation has no influence on the state - the system remains in the same regular state. Subsequent reinstatement of the same type of perturbation with the same amplitude does not change the periodic state of the system but, for considerably higher amplitude, the system is switched back to its chaotic state. For moderate-amplitude sinusoidal perturbation, intermittent transitions between the chaotic and regular states is observed. Most of these predictions of the model have been observed experimentally in a system of two coupled electrical discharges. Our results suggest practical methods that can be used for controlling the discharge plasma dynamics.

A security analysis of a recently proposed secure communication scheme based on the phase synchronization of chaotic systems is presented. It is shown that the system parameters directly determine the cipher text waveform, hence it can be readily broken by system parameter estimation from the cipher text signal.

Abstract
Analysis of the synchronization mechanisms of neural activity is crucial to the understanding of the generation, propagation and control of epileptiform activity. Recently, phase synchronization (PS) analysis was applied to quantify the partial synchrony that exists in complex chaotic or noisy systems. In a previous study, we have shown that neural activity between two remotely located sites can be synchronized through a complete cut of the tissue by endogenous non-synaptic signals. Therefore, it should be possible to apply signals to control PS. In this study, we test the hypothesis that stimulation amplitudes below excitation level (sub-threshold) can be used to control phase synchronization of two neural signals and we investigate the underlying mechanisms. PS of neuronal activity is first analysed in two coupled Rossler neuron models. Both synchronization and desynchronization could be generated with sub-threshold sinusoidal stimulation. Phase synchronization was then studied in in vitro brain slices. Neuronal activity between two sites was modulated by the application of small sinusoidal electric fields. PS between two remote sites could be achieved by the application of two identical waveforms while phase desynchronization of two close sites was generated by the application of a stimulus at a single site. These results show that sub-threshold stimuli are able to phase synchronize or desynchronize two networks and suggest that small signals could play an important role in normal neural activity and epilepsy.
