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

Imagination, Symbolic Cognition, and Human Evolution: The Early Arts Facilitated Group Survival
TL;DR: This paper argued that evolutionary survival pressures recruiting the functions of symbolic cognition and the imagination contributed to the rise of the earliest arts and argued that the evolutionary drivers behind the early arts were enhancement of survival through symbolic expressions of social cohesion and group effort.

Sensorimotor synchronization with music and metronome in school-aged children
TL;DR: In this article , the effects of age and sex on sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) were investigated by finger-tapping (FT) tasks following rhythmic auditory cues using metronomes.
Regularity and asynchrony when tapping to tactile, auditory and combined pulses
TL;DR: In this paper, a tapping experiment was conducted with 27 subjects, who were asked to tap along with an auditory pulse, a tactile pulse and a combined auditory-tactile pulse in three different tempi.

Getting into the Swing of things: An investigation into rhythmic unimanual coordination in typically developing children.
David Gaul,Johann Issartel +1 more
TL;DR: Children's unimanual coordination levels were found to follow the typical maturation process and improve with age, and the potential benefit of multisensory information for uni manual coordination in children is suggested.

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.

Catalin V. Buhusi,Warren H. Meck +1 more
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.
