    Human timing synchronization with a metronome involves a sensory-dependent process. This timing relies on internal and external cues, with at least two distinct error sources influencing accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Human motor control

    Background:

    • Accurate temporal information processing is crucial for human motor control and interaction.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of synchronization, particularly with subtle temporal perturbations, remains a key research area.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of human temporal information processing during synchronization tasks.
    • To identify the factors influencing the stability and accuracy of timing in response to subliminal temporal changes.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants tapped in synchrony with a metronome exhibiting subliminal random period changes.
    • Statistical analysis of sequential timing data from human key-taps and metronome events.
    • Comparison with computer-simulated models of synchronization strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Human synchronization demonstrated a sensory-dependent, second-order recursive process.
    • Synchronization was indexed and stabilized by both internal and external resetting events.
    • At least two independent sources of timing error were identified in the synchronization process.

    Conclusions:

    • Human temporal synchronization is a complex process influenced by sensory feedback and internal/external timing cues.
    • The findings suggest a recursive model for timing stabilization with inherent error sources.
    • This research provides insights into the neural and cognitive underpinnings of precise motor timing.
