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.

Neural correlates of rhythmic expectancy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured emitted responses, a type of ERP that occurs when an expected event is omitted from a regular series of stimulus events, in simple rhythms with temporal structures typical of music.

The Spatiotemporal Representation of Dance and Music Gestures using Topological Gesture Analysis (TGA)

TL;DR: In this article, the topological Gesture Analysis (TGA) is used to analyze the relationship between musical meter, dance style, and expertise in two popular dances (samba and Charleston).

A parametric fMRI investigation of context effects in sensorimotor timing and coordination

TL;DR: Support is provided for the hypothesis that some timing information is represented in a task-dependent manner across broad cortical and subcortical networks and for a classic prefrontal-parietal-temporal working memory network active only during continuation.

Neural Responses to Complex Auditory Rhythms: The Role of Attending

TL;DR: It is found that selective attention to rhythms led to increased BOLD responses in basal ganglia, and basalganglia activity was observed only after the rhythms had cycled enough times for a stable pulse percept to develop, suggesting that attention is needed to recruit motor activations associated with the perception of pulse in complex rhythms.

Decomposing rhythm processing: electroencephalography of perceived and self-imposed rhythmic patterns

TL;DR: The event-related potential (ERP) signature of actual and subjective accents is investigated, thus disentangling low-level perceptual processes from the cognitive aspects of rhythm processing and suggesting that top-down processes have a substantial role in the cerebral mechanisms of rhythmprocessing, independent of an externally presented stimulus.
