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

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
Peter E. Keller,Petr Janata +1 more
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.

Tracking an Imposed Beat within a Metrical Grid
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a rhythm similar to those of Povel and Essens (1985) and found that the favored beat provides the most stable reference for off-beat tapping but not necessarily for onbeat tapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing and aging: slowing of fastest regular tapping rate with preserved timing error detection and correction.
TL;DR: Motor limits of regular tapping, timing error detection, and correction in 60 participants aged from 19 to 98 years point towards intact timing error processing up to an advanced age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perfect phase correction in synchronization with slow auditory sequences.
TL;DR: The experiment used a phase perturbation method and a group of musically trained participants and found that as the sequence interonset interval increased, the phase correction response to perturbations increased and approached instantaneous phase resetting between 700 and 1200 ms, depending on the individual.
Journal ArticleDOI
Event-based and emergent timing: dichotomy or continuum? A reply to Repp and Steinman (2010).
TL;DR: It is suggested that event-based and emergent timing, usually conceived as mutually exclusive modes of timing, could in fact coexist in a single activity, and rhythmic activities could exploit mixtures of control modes, in which the relative importance of event- based andEmergent components could depend on task characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periodic and Aperiodic Synchronization in Skilled Action
TL;DR: A unified treatment of periodic and aperiodic synchronization is suggested by replacing the sequential processing model of cognitivist approaches with the more local notion of a task-specific sensorimotor coordination.
