Article Abstract
Research investigating the dynamics of coupled physical systems has demonstrated that small feedback delays can allow a dynamic response system to anticipate chaotic behavior. This counterintuitive phenomenon, termed anticipatory synchronization, has been observed in coupled electrical circuits, laser semi-conductors, and artificial neurons. Recent research indicates that the same process might also support the ability of humans to anticipate the occurrence of chaotic behavior in other individuals. Motivated by this latter work, the current study examined whether the process of feedback delay induced anticipatory synchronization could be employed to develop an interactive artificial agent capable of anticipating chaotic human movement. Results revealed that incorporating such delays within the movement-control dynamics of an artificial agent not only enhances an artificial agent's ability to anticipate chaotic human behavior, but to synchronize with such behavior in a manner similar to natural human-human anticipatory synchronization. The implication of these findings for the development of human-machine interaction systems is discussed.

Developing reservoir computing models for anticipatory synchronization with chaotic time series and real-time prediction.
Phys Rev E

Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, LT-10257 Vilnius, Lithuania.
We show that combining the ideas of anticipatory synchronization and machine learning enables real-time prediction of chaotic time series without prior knowledge of the system model. A next-generation reservoir computing approach is used to develop slave system models for anticipatory synchronization with scalar chaotic time series. The multidimensional state space is reconstructed using time-delay embedding coordinates.

Motor preparation is a dynamic process that is tuned to task demands such as urgency. This study examined the effect of urgency to move on cortico-muscular coherence (CMC) in the beta frequency band during motor preparation. Participants (n = 25) prepared for a rapid wrist flexion movement under two distinct scenarios: high (350 ms to prepare) and low (1400 ms to prepare) urgency.

This paper proposes a theoretical model of meaning-making grounded in proprioceptive awareness and embodied imagination, arguing that human cognition is inherently multimodal, anticipatory, and sensorimotor. Drawing on Peircean semiotics, Lotman's model of cultural cognition, and current research in neuroscience, we show that readiness to act-a proprioceptively grounded anticipation of movement-plays a fundamental role in the emergence of meaning, from perception to symbolic abstraction. Contrary to traditional approaches that reduce language to a purely symbolic or visual system, we argue that meaning arises through the integration of sensory, motor, and affective processes, structured by axial proprioceptive coordinates (vertical, horizontal, sagittal).

Regular light-dark cycles greatly affect organisms, and events like eclipses induce distinctive physiological and behavioural shifts. While well documented in animals, plant behaviour during eclipses remains largely unexplored. Here, we monitored multiple spruce trees to assess their individual and collective bioelectrical responses to a solar eclipse.

Throw and catch are fundamental motor skills that are closely related to eye-hand coordination, reaction speed, and spatial awareness in children. Current research on throw and catch mainly focuses on the impact of attentional focus, anticipatory knowledge, and training on visuomotor control. Little work has been done on the synchronized movements of eyes and joints during the throw and catch.
