In this contribution we present a brief introduction to the theory of synchronization of self-sustained oscillators. Classical results for synchronization of periodic motions and effects of noise on this process are reviewed and compared with recently found phase synchronization phenomena in chaotic oscillators. The basic notions of phase and frequency locking are reconsidered within a common framework. The application of phase synchronization to data analysis is discussed.
