These architectures are inspired by synchronization in biological systems. Using theories of coupled oscillators that capture the effects of signal transmission- and feedback-delays, as well as signal filtering and component heterogeneity, we predict the synchronization properties of such systems. In parallel, we test our theoretical results with experiments on mutually delay-coupled electronic clocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pks.mpg.de\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/MPIPKS\/group_pages\/SOSES\/Teaser.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>latest teaser<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mutual Network Synchronization Both in biology and in engineering, synchronization of many autonomously oscillating parts is an important concept, think of flashing fireflies, cardiac pacemaker cells, or multi-component systems.
