Rhythmicity permeates large parts of human experience. Humans generate various motor
and brain rhythms spanning a range of frequencies. We also experience and synchronize to …

Wilful movement requires neural control. Commonly, neural computations are thought to
generate motor commands that bring the musculoskeletal system—that is, the plant—from its …

Humans tend to anticipate events when they synchronize their actions with sound (such as
when they clap to music), which has puzzled scientists for decades. What accounts for this …

Human interaction often requires the precise yet flexible interpersonal coordination of
rhythmic behavior, as in group music making. The present fMRI study investigates the …

Across a broad spectrum of interactions, humans exhibit a prominent tendency to
synchronize their movements with one another. Traditionally, this phenomenon has been …

When exposed to rhythmic patterns with temporal regularity, adults exhibit an inherent ability
to extract and anticipate an underlying sequence of regularly spaced beats, which is …

Humans are social animals who engage in a variety of collective activities requiring
coordinated action. Among these, music is a defining and ancient aspect of human sociality …

Across different epochs and societies, humans occasionally gather to jointly make music.

Humans' complex behavior, such as speech, music, or dance, requires us to coordinate our
actions with external sounds as well as with social partners. The presence of a partner can …

Human interaction is often accompanied by synchronized bodily rhythms. Such
synchronization may emerge spontaneously as when a crowd's applause turns into a steady …
