1918 K. Edgcumbe Industr. Electr. Measuring Instruments (ed. 2) 257 A simple method of determining phase sequence when a rotation indicator is not available has been described.

1971 A. Symonds Electr. Power Equipm. vi. 91 There are three essential conditions to be met before two transformers can be connected in parallel: (a) Secondaries must have the same phase sequence. This can be checked by a phase-sequence indicator.

1992 RS Components: Electronic & Electr. Products July 658/1 (caption) Phase Sequence/Failure Relay. Relay for monitoring a three phase supply, checking that all three phases are present and in the correct sequence.

2003 Fusion Engin. & Design 66–8 763/1 Any control algorithm can detect an event and force a change to another phase sequence, when the timing of waveforms is then relative to the time of the event.

1946 D. O. Hebb in Psychol. Rev. 53 269/1 Let us designate the specific pattern of cellular activity throughout the thalamo-cortical system, at any one moment, as a ‘phase’. Behavior is directly correlated with a phase sequence which is temporally organized.

1954 Brit. Jrnl. Psychol. 45 189 Hebb (1949) expresses the belief that the mental processes corresponding to cortical processes (‘phase-sequences’) will be most rewarding..when the phase-sequences are in the course of being built up.

1970 C. Taylor in R. Borger & F. Cioffi Explan. in Behavioural Sci. 77 Hebb..presents mechanisms, the ‘cell assembly’ and ‘phase sequence’, which although expressed in neurological terms are not based on any direct supporting neurological evidence.

2004 Neuron 42 810/2 These results have also been interpreted as providing physiological evidence for Hebbs's concept of a phase sequence—that is, a stored set of synaptic weights that cause specific sequences of brain states to be activated.
