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...

Attentional synchrony is a new theory in the studies of scene perception, proposing that multiple viewers of dynamic scenes attend to the same location of the scene at the same time. The following paper investigated the effects of repetitive viewing of a professionally edited movie scene on the attentional synchrony of viewers. Participants were required to view a scene from the James Bond movi...

Nonverbal synchrony in face-to-face interaction has been studied in numerous empirical investigations focusing on various communication channels. Furthermore, the pervasiveness of synchrony in physics, chemistry and biology adds to its face-validity. This paper is focused on establishing criteria for a statistical evaluation of synchrony in human interaction. When assessing synchrony in any com...

Parent-child synchrony—parent-child interaction patterns characterized by contingent social responding, mutual responsivity, and co-regulation—has been robustly associated with adaptive child outcomes. Synchrony has investigated in both behavioral biological frameworks. While it demonstrated that adversity can influence parent-child synchrony, the neural mechanisms which this disruption occurs ...

Interpersonal synchrony increases cooperation among adults, children, and infants. We tested whether increased infant helpfulness transfers to individuals uninvolved in the movement, but shown to be affiliates of a synchronously moving partner. Initially, 14-month-old infants (N = 48) watched a live skit by Experimenters 1 and 2 that either demonstrated affiliation or individuality. Infants in ...

In this article we present our ongoing work on expressive performance analysis for violin and string ensembles, in terms of synchronization in intonation, timing, dynamics and articulation. Our current research objectives are outlined, along with an overview for the methods used to achieve them; finally, focusing on the case of intonation synchronization in violin duets, some preliminary result...

Words expressing spatial relationships in Hittite are synchronically adverbs, not case forms of nouns as sometimes alleged. They are attested in three distinct syntactic roles: postpositions, preverbs, and freestanding adverbs. Some of these local adverbs are inherited from Proto-Indo-European, while others reflect petrified case forms of nouns. Postpositions from inherited local adverbs origin...

We analyze the delayed feedback approach to suppression of collective synchrony in a population of globally or randomly coupled neurons. In particular, we consider the main factors of imperfection of the control scheme and their influence on the suppression efficiency. Next, with the help of a realistic model of synaptically coupled population of inhibitory and excitatory neurons we demonstrate...

We present a model of binding of relationship information in a spatial domain (e.g., square above triangle) that uses low-order coarse-coded conjunctive representations instead of more popular temporal synchrony mechanisms. Supporters of temporal synchrony argue that conjunctive representations lack both efficiency (i.e., combinatorial numbers of units are required) and systematicity (i.e., the...
