Representing self and other during musical joint action
Musical ensemble performance is a sophisticated form of joint action that showcases the
remarkable human capacity for precise interpersonal coordination. Such coordination
requires some degree of self-other merging while maintaining the distinction between self
and other. Integration of information related to one's own and others' actions
assists in representing shared goals and evaluating joint outcomes. At the same time,
segregation between the effects of actions produced by self and others facilitates agency
attribution and autonomous movement control. In this talk, I will present research
addressing how self-other integration and segregation are balanced in the auditory domain
during musical joint action. I will report findings from sensorimotor synchronization
experiments employing controlled laboratory paradigms and naturalistic musical tasks, as
well as related computational modelling work and neuroimaging studies. Results suggest
that achieving optimal balance between self-other integration and segregation requires
finely tuned internal models of self, other, and joint action outcomes.
We are looking forward to see you at the talk!
