Sound and Action in Music Performance

Sound and Action in Music addresses how auditory feedback influences the planning and execution of our movements. Focusing specifically on auditory feedback in music, the book also gives substantial coverage to its role in speech. Both of these behaviors are the primary means by which people communicate their thoughts and feelings through the auditory modality, and auditory feedback is critical in each case. Sound and Action in Music proposes that the role of auditory feedback emerges from the broader theme of coordination, as our brain coordinates planned actions with concurrent perceptual events, including auditory feedback as well as other possibly intrusive sounds. Critically reviewing the existing literature and proposing hypotheses for future research, Sound and Action in Music tackles a topic that has intrigued researchers for decades. Covers extensively the role of feedback in event sequencing Details how motor systems influence use of auditory feedback Tackles neural mechanisms for feedback processing Characterizes hierarchical representations and synchronization Addresses perception/action associations and the role of internal models of production Includes comparison in how visual feedback influences performance
