Timing in musical joint action, and the role of bodily coordination dynamics
Bodily gestures play an important role in joint musical interactions. In a series of
empirical studies, we investigated how bodily gestures may support an emergent timing
mechanism. Results show that gestures can contribute to joint musical timing, in the way
they can lower cognitive load and provide cues that facilitate accurate prediction. In a
second series of studies, I will present a new empirical protocol to investigate the
relationship between the time-varying coordination dynamics of a joint musical
interaction, and the subjectively-felt quality of that interaction (related to the sense
of joint agency). We adopt thereby a Bayesian inference framework as a guide for our
methodological choices. Finally, I will conclude my talk with a brief discussion on
ongoing and future research, that employs virtual reality as a methodological framework to
study fundamental aspects of embodied music interaction.
We are looking forward to see you at the talk!
