TLDR
It is evident that much new knowledge about SMS has been acquired in the last 7 years, and more recent research in what appears to be a burgeoning field is surveyed.Abstract:
Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an external rhythm, ranging from finger tapping in time with a metronome to musical ensemble performance. An earlier review (Repp, 2005) covered tapping studies; two additional reviews (Repp, 2006a, b) focused on music performance and on rate limits of SMS, respectively. The present article supplements and extends these earlier reviews by surveying more recent research in what appears to be a burgeoning field. The article comprises four parts, dealing with (1) conventional tapping studies, (2) other forms of moving in synchrony with external rhythms (including dance and nonhuman animals’ synchronization abilities), (3) interpersonal synchronization (including musical ensemble performance), and (4) the neuroscience of SMS. It is evident that much new knowledge about SMS has been acquired in the last 7 years.read more

Modeling Dynamic Coupling in Social Interactions
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic time-course model for predicting social behavior between interconnected agents is proposed, which is based on theoretical concepts of alignment as well as empirical testing of healthy individuals in which traditional measures of the degree of coupling will be used to compare instances where group size and richness of available social information is varied.

Memory-paced tapping to auditory rhythms: Effects of rate, speech and motor-engagement
Kliger Amrani,Zion Golumbic +1 more
TL;DR: For example, this article found that participants can flexibly synchronize their motor actions to a very broad range of rhythms, from sub-second to supra-second, both for isochronous tone-sequences and for rhythmic speech stimuli.

Towards an Understanding of Control of Complex Rhythmical "Wavelike" Coordination in Humans.
Ross Sanders,Daniel J. Levitin +1 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of literature relating to central nervous system control of phase among joint/limbs in continuous rhythmic activities indicates that the control of movement is facilitated and simplified by innervating muscle synergies by way of spinal central pattern generators (CPGs).

Modelling perceived syncopation in popular music drum patterns: A preliminary study
Florian Hoesl,Olivier Senn +1 more
TL;DR: This article investigates whether a particular notation-based model for estimating syncopation in Western popular music drum patterns adequately predicts perceivedsyncopation, and shows that the model works well in general, but that it overemphasises the weight of syncopes on weak metric positions.

Keeping the beat as a measure of specific learning difficulties using midi controller
TL;DR: The test results show significant differences between the beat keeping accuracy of children with and without specific learning difficulties, which means that the device can be used as an aid in the early identification of specificLearning difficulties, and can be developed for a training device, too.

The cortical organization of speech processing
Gregory Hickok,David Poeppel +1 more
TL;DR: A dual-stream model of speech processing is outlined that assumes that the ventral stream is largely bilaterally organized — although there are important computational differences between the left- and right-hemisphere systems — and that the dorsal stream is strongly left- Hemisphere dominant.

Auditory Scene Analysis: The Perceptual Organization of Sound
TL;DR: Auditory Scene Analysis as discussed by the authors addresses the problem of hearing complex auditory environments, using a series of creative analogies to describe the process required of the human auditory system as it analyzes mixtures of sounds to recover descriptions of individual sounds.

Statistical Analysis of Circular Data
TL;DR: This book presents a meta-modelling framework for analysing two or more samples of unimodal data from von Mises distributions, and some modern Statistical Techniques for Testing and Estimation used in this study.

A theoretical model of phase transitions in human hand movements
TL;DR: A theoretical model, using concepts central to the interdisciplinary field of synergetics and nonlinear oscillator theory, is developed, which reproduces the dramatic change in coordinative pattern observed between the hands.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the brain represents time in a distributed manner and tells the time by detecting the coincidental activation of different neural populations.
