Projekte
- Neural Networks for Real-Time Joint Music Performance: Piano duos in the MR-scanner
Joint music performance is a highly complex task that requires musicians to dynamically integrate self- and other-produced actions. To synchronise their actions in time, ensemble musicians constantly anticipate the sounds produced by ...
- 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 ...
