the present study was undertaken to investigate the role of banana extract (be) on synchronous plantlet formation from seeds of dendrobium lituiflorum lindl. the seedlings formed on modified knudson c (kc) medium supplemented with 20% (v/v) be had significantly high fresh and dry weights. morphologically uniform plantlets with elongated leaves and well developed roots were formed on kc medium w...

Responses of neurons in monkey visual cortex are modulated when attention is directed into the receptive field of the neuron: the gain or sensitivity of the response is increased or the synchronization of the spikes to the local field potential (LFP) is increased. We investigated, using model simulations, whether the synchrony of inhibitory networks could link these observations. We found that,...

In the current study, we examined the role of active experience on sensitivity to multisensory synchrony in six-month-old infants in a musical context. In the first of two experiments, we trained infants to produce a novel multimodal effect (i.e., a drum beat) and assessed the effects of this training, relative to no training, on their later perception of the synchrony between audio and visual ...

This paper presents a new direction for managing the speech recognition errors of a computer with spoken dialogue functions. Our approach uses an implicit control of human voice prosody by focusing on human behavior characteristics, i.e., interactional synchrony at the prosodic level as one of errorprevention methods. In this paper, we introduce a simple experiment to examine the same prosodic ...

Many instances of large-scale coordination occur in real-life social situations without the explicit awareness of the individuals involved. While the majority of research to date has examined dyadic interactions - those between two individuals - during intentional or deliberate coordination, the present review surveys the handful of recent studies investigating behavioral and physiological sync...

Eckhorn et al. review in their study two experiments in which they perform measurements in humans and monkeys while presenting visual stimuli. They apply a new measure of and thus view on synchrony to yield larger correlation. In addition the results are compared to similar measurements in neural network models confronted with comparable input. I want to consider, in which way the results of th...
