观众通过鼓掌的力度和性质来表达对优秀表演的欣赏。开始时雷鸣般的掌声常常突然变成同步的掌声，这种同步的掌声可以在掌声中消失并重新出现几次。这种现象是社会自组织的一种令人愉快的表达，它提供了一个在人类尺度上发生在许多自然系统中的同步过程的例子，从闪烁的亚洲萤火虫到振荡的化学反应，等等。下面我们来解释一下这种有节奏的掌声的动力。
An audience expresses appreciation for a good performance by the strength and nature of its applause. The thunder of applause at the start often turns quite suddenly into synchronized clapping, and this synchronization can disappear and reappear several times during the applause. The phenomenon is a delightful expression of social self-organization that provides an example on a human scale of the synchronization processes that occur in numerous natural systems, ranging from flashing Asian fireflies to oscillating chemical reactions,,. Here we explain the dynamics of this rhythmic applause.
