“…Such oscillatory activities represent endogenous entrainment to the pulse or beat at different metrical levels of an auditory rhythm (Large & Snyder, 2009;see also Nozaradan, Peretz, Missal, & Mouraux, 2011, for a similar finding of cortical entrainment to an auditory pulse, as reflected in steady-state evoked potentials). Oscillations at slow frequencies can be regulated by an isochronous sequence of tones such that, when the sequence is presented at temporal frequencies of 1-5 Hz, the stimulus-locked intertrial coherence (ITC, or "phase-locking factor") shows a maximum at the frequency band corresponding to the stimulus rate (Will & Berg, 2007). Furthermore, the maximum is greatest with a stimulus rate of 2 Hz, which seems to correspond to an intrinsic preferred beat tempo in humans (Moelants, 2002).…”

Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an external rhythm, ranging from finger tapping in time with a metronome to musical ensemble performance. An earlier review (Repp, 2005) covered tapping studies; two additional reviews (Repp, 2006a, b) focused on music performance and on rate limits of SMS, respectively. The present article supplements and extends these earlier reviews by surveying more recent research in what appears to be a burgeoning field. The article comprises four parts, dealing with (1) conventional tapping studies, (2) other forms of moving in synchrony with external rhythms (including dance and nonhuman animals' synchronization abilities), (3) interpersonal synchronization (including musical ensemble performance), and (4) the neuroscience of SMS. It is evident that much new knowledge about SMS has been acquired in the last 7 years.

“…An opposing view claims there is no operational definition of soothing music that can relax (Hanser 1985(Hanser , 1988. The possibility of using external stimuli to drive the brain towards relaxed activity has been studied (Will and Berg 2007), and the following will discuss effects of music on the nervous system and other biological mechanisms.…”

Myths about the power of music to regulate and change emotional states are found in each culture. Googling the words ''music and stress'' produces promises for different types of music specially designed to assist managing stress. Music therapists are familiar with using different techniques to reduce stress with different populations. This paper examines both the application of music to stress management and the neurological and physiological mechanisms of stress that can be modulated by music.

“…A framework for understanding the meso-and micro-scale temporal dynamics of teams emerges from the neurodynamically linked ideas of brain wave synchronization/entrainment [32], and acrossbrain social couplings [33]. One possibility is that the rhythm of the team had been captured or entrained by the task situation/events and/or the actions of other members.…”

Abstract:Research on the microscale neural dynamics of social interactions has yet to be translated into improvements in the assembly, training and evaluation of teams. This is partially due to the scale of neural involvements in team activities, spanning the millisecond oscillations in individual brains to the minutes/hours performance behaviors of the team. We have used intermediate neurodynamic representations to show that healthcare teams enter persistent (50-100 s) neurodynamic states when they encounter and resolve uncertainty while managing simulated patients. Each of the second symbols was developed situating the electroencephalogram (EEG) power of each team member in the contexts of those of other team members and the task. These representations were acquired from EEG headsets with 19 recording electrodes for each of the 1-40 Hz frequencies. Estimates of the information in each symbol stream were calculated from a 60 s moving window of Shannon entropy that was updated each second, providing a quantitative neurodynamic history of the team's performance. Neurodynamic organizations fluctuated with the task demands with increased organization (i.e., lower entropy) occurring when the team needed to resolve uncertainty. These results show that intermediate neurodynamic representations can provide a quantitative bridge between the micro and macro scales of teamwork.
