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.

The ADaptation and Anticipation Model (ADAM) of sensorimotor synchronization

TL;DR: The conceptual basis and architecture of ADAM is described, which combines reactive error correction processes (adaptation) with predictive temporal extrapolation processes (anticipation) inspired by the computational neuroscience concept of internal models and creates a novel and promising approach for exploring adaptation and anticipation in SMS.

The evolutionary neuroscience of musical beat perception: the Action Simulation for Auditory Prediction (ASAP) hypothesis

TL;DR: It is argued that beat perception is a complex brain function involving temporally-precise communication between auditory regions and motor planning regions of the cortex (even in the absence of overt movement), and it is proposed that simulation of periodic movement inMotor planning regions provides a neural signal that helps the auditory system predict the timing of upcoming beats.

Embodied music cognition and mediation technology

TL;DR: In this paper, Leman examines how these developments might be unified into something that is simultaneously a theory of music cognition and a blueprint for the music mediation technology of the future, and the main mediating principle elaborated on in the monograph, which is more intellectual discourse than textbook, is rooted in the belief that musical interactions are socially charged, embodied affairs.

Finding the beat: a neural perspective across humans and non-human primates

TL;DR: It is suggested that a cross-species comparison of behaviours and the neural circuits supporting them sets the stage for a new generation of neurally grounded computational models for beat perception and synchronization.

Rhythm in joint action: psychological and neurophysiological mechanisms for real-time interpersonal coordination.

TL;DR: This review article addresses the psychological processes and brain mechanisms that enable rhythmic interpersonal coordination and highlights musical ensemble performance as an ecologically valid yet readily controlled domain for investigating rhythm in joint action.

Fractal dynamics of human gait: a reassessment of the 1996 data of Hausdorff et al.

TL;DR: It is concluded that 1/f fluctuations in gait are not overridden by supraspinal influences when walking is paced by a metronome, and the source of 1/ f noise is still at work in this condition, but expressed differently under the influence of a continuous coupling process.

Functional changes in the activity of cerebellum and frontostriatal regions during externally and internally timed movement in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Between-group comparison indicates that PD patients OFF medication may compensate for their basal ganglia-cortical loop's dysfunction using different motor pathways involving cerebellum and basalganglia relays during the two phases of rhythmic movement.

The Beat Alignment Test (BAT): Surveying beat processing abilities in the general population

TL;DR: The Beat Alignment Test (BAT) as discussed by the authors is a psychophysical test that directly examines beat perception in isolation from beat synchronization, which is intended to complement existing tests of rhythm processing by directly examining beat perception.

Do birds of a feather move together? Group membership and behavioral synchrony

TL;DR: The effects of arbitrary group membership (i.e., minimal groups) on the emergence of interpersonal coordination and the potential avenues by which the dynamics of rhythmic coordination may be influenced by group status are explored.

FMRI investigation of cross-modal interactions in beat perception: audition primes vision, but not vice versa.

TL;DR: The results provide further evidence for the role of the basal ganglia in internal generation of the beat and suggest that an internal auditory rhythm representation may be activated during visual rhythm perception.
