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.

Walking to music and metronome at various tempi in persons with multiple sclerosis : a basis for rehabilitation

TL;DR: Auditory-motor coupling and synchronization was feasible in HC and PwMS with motor and cognitive impairments and Coupling walking to music could be a promising functional walking training strategy.

Coupling of Action-Perception Brain Networks during Musical Pulse Processing: Evidence from Region-of-Interest-Based Independent Component Analysis

TL;DR: Results revealed a strengthened functional integration of action-perception networks associated with pulse clarity perception hidden from GLM analyses, and group differences between musicians and non-musicians in pulse clarity processing, suggesting lifelong musical training as an important factor that may influence beat processing.

Intertrial auditory neural stability supports beat synchronization in preschoolers

TL;DR: The ability to synchronize to a beat is linked to language and literacy skills and provides an index of auditory neural precision in early childhood, revealing a systematic relationship between synchronization and speech encoding.

Differences in perceptual latency estimated from judgments of temporal order, simultaneity and duration are inconsistent.

TL;DR: Using an auditory and a visual stimulus, it is confirmed that ΔL as estimated from duration judgments also does not coincide with ΔL estimated from TOJ or SJ, and inconsistencies suggest that each judgment is subject to different processes that bias 4L in different ways.

Entrainment and synchronization in networks of Rayleigh---van der Pol oscillators with diffusive and Haken---Kelso---Bunz couplings

TL;DR: Analytical results are obtained to prove boundedness of the error when the oscillators are coupled diffusively and propose to capture some of the features of human group synchronization observed experimentally in the previous literature.

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.
