Interpersonal synchrony refers to the temporal coordination of actions between individuals and is a common feature of social behaviors, from team sport to ensemble music performance.
Interpersonal synchrony of many rhythmic periodic behaviors displays dynamics of coupled biological oscillators. The current study addresses oscillatory dynamics on the levels of brain and behavior between music duet partners performing at spontaneous uncued rates.
Moreover, observed Duet partners showed greater inter-brain correlations of oscillatory amplitude fluctuations than did surrogate partners, suggesting that performing in synchrony with a musical partner is reflected in coupled cortical dynamics at the performance frequency.
The current study provides evidence that dynamics of oscillator coupling are reflected in both behavioral and neural measures of temporal coordination during musical joint action. Keywords: interpersonal synchrony, temporal coordination, neural entrainment, wireless electroencephalography, hyperscanning. Many joint actions, from ensemble music performance to team rowing, require that partners synchronize the timing of rhythmic oscillatory movements.
