Topic: entrainment

Neural entrainment has become a phenomenon of exceptional interest to neuroscience, given its involvement in rhythm perception, production, and overt synchronized behavior. Yet, traditional methods fail to quantify neural entrainment due to a misalignment with its fundamental definition (e.g., see Novembre and Iannetti, 2018; Rajandran and Schupp, 2019). The definition of entrainment assumes that endogenous oscillatory brain activity undergoes dynamic frequency adjustments to synchronize with environmental rhythms (Lakatos et al., 2019). Following this definition, we recently developed a meth

Understanding the properties of active matter is a challenge which is currently driving a rapid growth in soft- and bio-physics. Some of the most important examples of active matter are at the microscale, and include active colloids and suspensions of microorganisms, both as a simple active fluid (single species) and as mixed suspensions of active and passive elements. In this last class of systems, recent experimental and theoretical work has started to provide a window into new phenomena including activity-induced depletion interactions, phase separation, and the possibility to extract net
