演讲主题：Patterns of Synchrony: From Animal Gaits to Binocular Rivalry

演讲时间：2015年8月18日，4:00-5:00

演讲地点：环境学院316房间

报告摘要： This talk will review previous work on quadrupedal gaits and recent work on a generalized model for binocular rivalry proposed by Hugh Wilson. Both applications show how rigid phase-shift synchrony in periodic solutions of coupled systems of differential equations can help understand high level collective behavior in the nervous system.
