　　Abstract ： As a universal concept in nonlinear science, the synchronization of coupled oscillators has been commonly interested and extensively studied by researchers from different fields. Recently, with the discoveries of the small-world and scale-free structure in man-made and natural complex systems, a new surge of studies has been appeared in exploring the synchronization behaviors of complex networks. In this talk, I shall give a brief introduction on the progresses we made in the past years on network synchronization. Starting from an experimental demonstration, I shall first introduce the phenomenon of oscillator synchronization. Then, by the example of gradient complex network, I shall show how the synchronization dynamics is influenced by the network structure. Finally, I shall demonstrate the formation and control of synchronous patterns in complex networks, as well as its implications to the functioning and operating of neural complex systems.
