摘要： Using a survey of wrist-watch synchronization from a randomly selected group of independent volunteers, we model the system as a Kuramoto-type coupled oscillator network. Based on the phase data both the order parameter and likely size of the coupling are derived and the possibilities for similar research to deduce topology from dynamics are discussed.
