Phase correction responses (PCRs) during synchronized tapping are triggered by auditory sequence perturbations. Findings reveal that temporal perception, not just asynchrony, influences these automatic corrections in rhythmic synchronization.

Area of Science:

  • Auditory perception
  • Motor control
  • Human synchronization

Background:

  • Synchronized finger tapping to auditory sequences typically elicits automatic phase correction responses (PCRs) to local phase perturbations.
  • The primary stimulus for PCRs is traditionally assumed to be the most recent tap-tone asynchrony.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the stimuli that elicit phase correction responses (PCRs) in synchronized finger tapping.
  • To determine if perturbations in auditory subdivisions, not just beats, trigger PCRs.
  • To explore factors influencing the magnitude of PCRs, including tempo and mental subdivision.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed synchronized finger tapping to isochronous auditory sequences with 1:n tapping (beats and subdivisions).
  • Phase perturbations were introduced on either the beat or the subdivision.

  • The magnitude of the elicited PCRs was measured and analyzed under various conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Both beat and subdivision perturbations elicited PCRs, even when no direct asynchrony was present for subdivisions.
    • The PCR to a perturbed beat was reduced when followed by an unperturbed subdivision.
    • The size of PCRs varied with tempo, subdivision presence (local vs. global), and mental subdivision engagement, but not with tapping on subdivisions.

    Conclusions:

    • Phase correction in rhythmic synchronization is influenced by perceptual monitoring of multiple temporal references within a metrical hierarchy, not solely by tap-tone asynchronies.
    • The auditory system actively processes temporal information at different metrical levels during synchronized tapping.
    • These findings challenge the traditional view of PCRs being solely driven by immediate asynchrony.
