“…We note again that our results may be distinguished from previous dyadic studies in which one participant was explicitly instructed to track (or drive) the other (e.g. de Rugy et al, 2006;Oullier et al, 2003;Schmidt et al, 1990;Temprado et al, 2003) or to resist the mutual influence each member of the dyad exerted on the other (Schmidt & O'Brien, 1997).…”

“…Several studies have employed the sensorimotor coordination paradigm to investigate interpersonal coordination dynamics for the case when an individual intentionally synchronizes his/her movements with another by means of visual information exchange (e.g. de Rugy, Salesse, Oullier, & Temprado, 2006;Oullier, de Guzman, Jantzen, & Kelso, 2003;Schmidt, Carello, & Turvey, 1990;Temprado, Swinnen, Carson, Tourment, & Laurent, 2003). In such studies however, it is not yet clear whether spontaneous social entrainment actually occurs, i.e., as a two-way interaction where people mutually influence each other, or whether one individual simply acts as a pacing stimulus or "driver" for the other (Kelso, DelColle, & Schöner, 1990).…”

Spontaneous social coordination has been extensively described in natural settings but so far no controlled methodological approaches have been employed that systematically advance investigations into the possible self-organized nature of bond formation and dissolution between humans. We hypothesized that, under certain contexts, spontaneous synchrony -a well-described phenomenon in biological and physical settings-could emerge spontaneously between humans as a result of information exchange. Here, a new way to quantify interpersonal interactions in real time is proposed. In a simple experimental paradigm, pairs of participants facing each other were required to actively produce actions, while provided (or not) with the vision of similar actions being performed by someone else. New indices of interpersonal coordination, inspired by the theoretical framework of coordination dynamics (based on relative phase and frequency overlap between movements of individuals forming a pair) were developed and used. Results revealed that spontaneous phase synchrony (i.e., unintentional in-phase coordinated behavior) between two people emerges as soon as they exchange visual information, even if they are not explicitly instructed to coordinate with each other. Using the same tools, we also quantified the degree to which the behavior of each individual remained influenced by the social encounter even after information exchange had been removed, apparently a kind of social memory.

“…Many studies have investigated bimanual coordinated rhythmic movements (a single person moving and coordinating two limbs), but it is well known that the pattern of key stability characteristics are preserved when the coordination is between two people (e.g. de Rugy et al 2006;Schmidt et al 1990;Temprado et al 2003;Temprado and Laurent, 2004), or between a person and a computer display (e.g. Wimmers et al 1992;Buekers et al 2000;Wilson et al 2005aWilson et al , b, 2010a.…”

“…A number of researchers have suggested that the tendency toward in-phase and anti-phase movements of the limbs originates in action constraints of the perception-action system (e.g., Kagerer, Summers, & Semjen, 2003;Kennerly, Diedrichsen, Hazeltine, Semjen, & Ivry, 2002;Peper, de Boer, de Poel, & Beek, 2008), while other researchers suggest that perceptual constraints can play a large role in determining the stability of the bimanual coordination pattern (e.g., Bingham, 2004a,b;Mechsner et al, 2001;Mechsner & Knoblich 2004). Alternately, a number of studies have favored the hypothesis that a coalition of constraints, ranging from high-level perceptual to lower-level motor, modulates the stability of coordinated behavior (e.g., Amazeen, DaSilva, & Amazeen, 2008;Carson & Kelso, 2004;Meesen, Wenderoth, Temprado, Summers, & Swinnen, 2006;Salesse, Temprado, & Swinnen, 2005;Temprado et al, 2003;Shea, Kovacs, & Buchanan, 2009;Swinnen, 2002;Swinnen & Wenderoth, 2004). In other words, depending on the environmental information available, task requirements, and specific muscle groups utilized multiple constraints may inhibit/disrupt the production of the desired coordination pattern without any one constraint taking precedent at all times.…”

Perception and action influences on discrete and reciprocal bimanual coordination

For nearly four decades bimanual coordination, Ba prototype of complex motor skills^and apparent Bwindow into the design of the brain,^has been intensively studied. Past research has focused on describing and modeling the constraints that allow the production of some coordination patterns while limiting effective performance of other bimanual coordination patterns. More recently researchers have identified a coalition of perception-action constraints that hinder the effective production of bimanual skills. The result has been that given specially designed contexts where one or more of these constraints are minimized, bimanual skills once thought difficult, if not impossible, to effectively produce without very extensive practice can be executed effectively with little or no practice. The challenge is to understand how these contextual constraints interact to allow or inhibit the production of complex bimanual coordination skills. In addition, the factors affecting the stability of bimanual coordination tasks needs to be re-conceptualized in terms of perception-related constraints arising from the environmental context in which performance is conducted and action constraints resident in the neuromotor system.
