Renewal Aging as Emerging Property of Phase Synchronization
  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.
