Keeping in time with social and non-social stimuli: Synchronisation with auditory, visual, and audio-visual cues

Abstract Everyday social interactions require us to closely monitor, predict, and synchronise our movements with those of an interacting partner. Experimental studies of social synchrony typically examine the social-cognitive outcomes associated with synchrony, such as affiliation. On the other hand...
