Renewal Aging as Emerging Property of Phase Synchronization

TL;DR

This paper analyzes a phase synchronization model, revealing that the transition to synchronization involves a renewal, non-Poisson intermittent process, with implications for quantum dots and brain dynamics.

Contribution

It demonstrates that the onset of synchronization in the model is characterized by renewal, non-Poisson intermittency, linking it to physical phenomena like blinking quantum dots and brain activity.

Findings

Synchronization onset involves renewal, non-Poisson processes

Model applicable to blinking quantum dots

Relevant to human brain dynamics

Abstract

In this letter we examine a model recently proposed to produce phase synchronization [K. Wood et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 145701 (2006)] and we show that the onset to synchronization corresponds to the emergence of an intermittent process that is non-Poisson and renewal at the same time. We argue that this makes the model appropriate for the physics of blinking quantum dots, and the dynamics of human brain as well.
