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.

Modeling the tendency for music to induce movement in humans: First correlations with low-level audio descriptors across music genres

TL;DR: Two descriptors corresponding to the density of events between beats and the salience of the beat, respectively, were strongly correlated with groove across domains, and systematic deviations from strict positions on the metrical grid, so-called microtiming, did not play any significant role.

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.

Linear phase-correction in synchronization: predictions, parameter estimation, and simulations

TL;DR: A stochastic model for synchronization with a metronome is analyzed which generalizes Wing and Kristofferson's two-level model for tapping and predictions of the asymptotic dependence structure of the synchronization errors and interresponse intervals are derived.

Synchronizing human movement with an external clock source

TL;DR: From this analysis, synchronization appears to be a sensory-dependent second-order recursive process indexed and stabilized by a combination of internal and external resetting events, with at least two independent sources of timing error.

Rocking to the beat: Effects of music and partner's movements on spontaneous interpersonal coordination.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of visual information (seeing or not seeing another person) and auditory information (hearing movement or music or hearing no sound) on spontaneous coordination was compared.
