Sensorimotor synchronization: A review of recent research (2006–2012)

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.

The Impact of Specialized Musical Training on Rhythm Abilities: Comparing Drummers, Pianists, Singers and String Players

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of specialized musical experience in rhythm perception and production was assessed by comparing the rhythm abilities of four groups of musicians: drummers, singers, pianists and string players.

Rhythmic-based audio-haptic feedback for motoric tasks

TL;DR: This thesis focuses on rhythmic performance with auditory and haptic feedback, investigating the concept of applying ecological feedback to interactive performances and a usage of ecological feedback and cueing in rhythmic interaction.

Brain networks for temporal adaptation, anticipation, and sensory-motor integration in rhythmic human behavior

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the functional brain networks that may facilitate human interaction by enabling temporal adaptation (error correction), prediction, and monitoring and integration of information about "self" and the external environment.

Monkey see, monkey tap: mimicry of movement dynamics during coordinated tapping.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used motion capture to examine both the spatial and temporal aspects of movement dynamics during task performance and found that participants implicitly mimicked subtle aspects of spatial elements of their partner's movements.

The cortical organization of speech processing

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.

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.

What makes us tick? Functional and neural mechanisms of interval timing

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.
