Complete and anticipation synchronization of nonlinear oscillators from different origins is attempted experimentally. This involves coupling these heterogeneous oscillators to a common dynamical environment. Initially, this phenomenon was studied using two parameter mismatched Chua circuits. Subsequently, three different timeseries: a) x variable of the Lorenz oscillator b) the X-component of Earth's magnetic field and c) per-day temperature variation of the Region Santa Cruz in Mumbai, India are environmentally coupled, under the master–slave scenario, with a Chua circuit. Our results indicate that environmental coupling is a potent tool to provoke complete and anticipation synchronization of heterogeneous oscillators from distinct origins.
