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

The Evolution of Rhythm Processing.
TL;DR: This review article on rhythm processing incorporates and extends existing ideas on temporal processing in speech and music and offers suggestions about the neural, biological, and evolutionary bases of human abilities in these domains.

Rhythmic cognition in humans and animals: distinguishing meter and pulse perception
TL;DR: A cognitive and comparative perspective on human rhythmic cognition that emphasizes a key distinction between pulse perception and meter perception is outlined, arguing that metrically-structured rhythms are required to either perform or move appropriately to music.

The Ability to Move to a Beat Is Linked to the Consistency of Neural Responses to Sound
Adam Tierney,Nina Kraus +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that adolescent humans who demonstrate less variability when tapping to a beat have auditory brainstem responses that are less variable as well, which may help improve auditory neural synchrony, potentially benefiting children with auditory-based language impairments characterized by excessively variable neural responses.

Integer Ratio Priors on Musical Rhythm Revealed Cross-culturally by Iterated Reproduction
TL;DR: The results suggest that priors on musical rhythm are substantially modulated by experience and may simply reflect the empirical distribution of rhythm that listeners encounter, which can efficiently map out a high-resolution view of biases that shape transmission and stability of simple reproducible patterns within a culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronization to auditory and visual rhythms in hearing and deaf individuals
TL;DR: The results indicate that the auditory advantage in rhythmic synchronization is more experience- and stimulus-dependent than has been previously reported and may access higher-order beat perception mechanisms for deaf individuals.

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.
