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.

Enacting Intersubjectivity:A Cognitive and Social Perspective on the Study of Interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a broad overview of the field of intersubjectivity in socio-cognitive research, focusing on the mental capacities that allow humans to relate to each other and to engage in social interactions.

Brain Networks for Integrative Rhythm Formation

TL;DR: The activated brain areas suggest the existence of an interconnected brain network specific for complex sensory-motor rhythmic integration that might have specificity for elaboration of musical abilities.

Modality specific functional interaction in sensorimotor synchronization.

TL;DR: The present data suggest that modality specific synchronization differences are associated with frequency and connectivity specific changes of functional interaction in distinct brain networks.

Effect of Temporal Separation on Synchronization in Rhythmic Performance

TL;DR: The results indicate that there are distinct regimes of mutually coupled behavior, and that ‘natural time delay’—delay within the narrow range associated with travel times across spatial arrangements of groups and ensembles—supports the most stable performance.

Toward a psychophysics of agency: detecting gain and loss of control over auditory action effects.

TL;DR: Sensorimotor cues to agency were found to increase sensitivity in the active conditions compared with the passive conditions, which provided only perceptual cues, and analysis of bias revealed a tendency to attribute action effects to self-control.
