Previous studies provide indirect evidence for an ontogenetically continuous Approximate-Number System. We employed a rapid steady-state visual-presentation paradigm combined with electroencephalography to measure stimulus-driven neural oscillatory responses to numerosities in infants and adults. Steady-state repetition of the same numerosity across a 2.4-sec time block yielded an increase in t...

Biological clocks are self-sustained oscillators that adjust their phase to the daily environmental cycles in a process known as entrainment. Molecular dissection and mathematical modeling of biological oscillators have progressed quite far, but quantitative insights on the entrainment of clocks are relatively sparse. We simultaneously tracked the phases of hundreds of synthetic genetic oscilla...

Acoustic-Prosodic Entrainment in Human-Human and Human-Computer Dialogue

Despite the expected benefits of global virtual teams, their performance has been spotty and management continues to search for reasons why these teams fail. This work addresses this issue by performing a longitudinal case study of two virtual teams in order to uncover why one was more successful than the other. The study found that a key factor for one team’s poor performance was the entrainme...

in the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (concap tray) have been carried out. the concap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. the effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the concap tray was measured, compared and correlated. the hydraulic experiments w...

The natural light/dark and temperature cycles are considered to be the most prominent factors that synchronize circadian clocks with the environment. Understanding the principles of temperature entrainment significantly lags behind our current knowledge of light entrainment in any organism subject to circadian research. Nevertheless, several effects of temperature on circadian clocks are well u...
