Abstract

This paper investigates the synchronization of human networks, focusing on the rhythmic behavior of violin players in complex networks. The study uses a controlled environment with precise manipulation of network connectivity, coupling strength, and delay. It finds that players can adjust their playing period and selectively ignore conflicting signals to achieve stable synchronization, exceeding the capabilities of existing models like the Kuramoto model. These findings have implications for various fields, including traffic management, epidemic control, and stock market dynamics.
