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

Synchronization and temporal processing
TL;DR: A brief review of sensory-motor synchronization offers insight into how the brain actively shapes the authors' perception, general cognitive functions and their cultural social identity as humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tempo and walking speed with music in the urban context
TL;DR: It was found that listening to music with headphones while walking can mask the influence of the surrounding environment to some extent, and many subjects did not spontaneously synchronize with the beat of the music at all, and some subjects synchronized only part of the time.

The Impact of Instrument-Specific Musical Training on Rhythm Perception and Production
TL;DR: The results suggest that general musical experience is more important than specialized musical experience with regards to perception and production of rhythms.

Natural rhythms of periodic temporal attention.
TL;DR: The authors reveal the natural sampling rate of auditory and visual periodic temporal attention, which is antagonistically modulated by overt motor activity, a result generalised in a dynamical model of coupled oscillators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding rostral-caudal auditory cortex contributions to auditory perception.
TL;DR: Differences in the connectivity and properties of the rostral and caudal auditory cortex are described and links to the functional specializations of the row of neurons in the cortex are proposed, suggesting that computational accounts of primate auditory pathways should focus on the implications of these temporal response differences.

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.

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