Title: Modeling Diversity in Rhythmic Interpersonal Coordination Skills

Abstract: Skill domains such as musical group performance, dance, and some team sports showcase the remarkable human capacity for the precise yet flexible coordination of action timing among individuals. Despite such rhythmic interpersonal coordination being based on fundamental sensory-motor mechanisms, there is large variation in coordination skills between individuals. A growing body of research has used computational modeling approaches to explore behavioral and brain correlates of this diversity. I will give an overview of studies that have used the Adaptation and Anticipation Model (ADAM) to investigate rhythmic coordination skills in different domains, including human participants interacting with other humans, computer-controlled virtual partners, and robots, as well as in preliminary work with another species.
