Projects
- Cognitive drivers of interbrain synchrony during musical interaction
How do musicians achieve synchrony when they perform music together? Numerous cognitive processes – such as the alignment of internal timekeepers or the focusing of joint attention onto each other’s actions – are at play as shown in previous ...
- How do musicians attend to own and the co-performer’s sound during joint performance?
Ensemble music making requires musicians to attend to their own and their co-performers’ parts. Although it has been repeatedly shown that dividing attention worsens the task execution – musicians can create performances of excellent quality ...
