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.

Neural Correlates of Temporal Anticipation

TL;DR: The authors found that the temporal dynamics in right parietal cortex correlate with reaction times to anticipated events, suggesting a functional role of event-related potential component P300 in temporal expectancy, and the results are consistent across both visual and auditory modalities.

Hebbian learning with elasticity explains how the spontaneous motor tempo affects music performance synchronization

TL;DR: In this paper , a model consisting of a non-linear oscillator with Hebbian tempo learning and a pulling force to the model's spontaneous frequency was proposed to explain how an individual's spontaneous rate of movement affects synchronization in realistic music performance settings.

Exposure to multisensory and visual static or moving stimuli enhances processing of nonoptimal visual rhythms

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used a perceptual learning paradigm to test whether the visual component of the multisensory training pair can affect processing of metric simple two integer-ratio nonoptimal visual rhythms.

Towards integrating joint action research: Developmental and evolutionary perspectives on co-representation

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss co-representing the partner's and one's own actions as a key mechanism for joint action, and conclude that more cooperative species are better at flexibly suppressing corepresentation when required for cooperation success.

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.

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.

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.
