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

Joint action: a minimalist approach
TL;DR: There are phenomena, call them joint actions, which are held to involve two people painting a house together (Bratman 1992), lifting a heavy sofa together (Velleman 1997), preparing a hollandaise sauce together (Searle 1990), going to Chicago together (Kutz 2000), and walking together (Gilbert 1990) as mentioned in this paper.

The dual influence of pacer continuity and pacer pattern for visuomotor synchronisation.
TL;DR: The present study aimed to disentangle the potential dual influence of pacer continuity and pacer pattern on visuomotor synchronisation by asking participants to synchronise continuous left-right forearm movements of tracking or discrete up-down finger movements of tapping with four visual pacers.

You got rhythm, or more: The multidimensionality of rhythmic abilities
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors measured performance across a range of rhythm tasks from different test batteries and found that participants who performed more or less accurately on a single rhythm task could reveal separable rhythmic competencies that may draw on distinct neural mechanisms.

Commentary: Beta-Band Oscillations Represent Auditory Beat and Its Metrical Hierarchy in Perception and Imagery.
TL;DR: The ability to predict the timing of natural sounds is essential for accurate comprehension of speech and music and whether beta oscillations encode the beat positions in metrical sequences with physically or subjectively accented beats and whether this is accomplished in a predictive manner or not.

Trade-off between frequency and precision during stepping movements: Kinematic and BOLD brain activation patterns.
Martín Martínez,Miguel Valencia,Marta Vidorreta,Elkin O. Luis,Gabriel Castellanos,Federico Villagra,María A. Fernández-Seara,Maria A. Pastor,Maria A. Pastor +8 more
TL;DR: This study visually guides a group of healthy subjects to follow three comfortable stepping frequencies while simultaneously recording their BOLD responses and lower limb kinematics with the use of a custom‐built treadmill device, suggesting a transition in the control strategy across the stimulated range of frequencies.

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.
Book
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.
