Glossary entry for
entrainment

From a Van concert review in the New York Times of March 15, 2008:

"Entrainment" is not an everyday word, but it's a term used in various fields of science. It can describe the phenomenon of one organism rhythmically and internally adjusting itself to another. It's when life-pulses coordinate.

Fireflies lighting up in synchronization has been described as entrainment. Jazz musicians locking in together is, in its way, entrainment.
