Speech movement coordination: Oral‐laryngeal interactions

Coordination of eyebrow movement with speech acoustics and head movement

Studies on the relationship between eyebrow movement and other aspects of speech production have focused on large, discrete movements of the eyebrows. Using integrated optical and electromagnetic point tracking, we measured eyebrow movements relative to the skull with a high level of precision. These data in combination with a correlational analysis method that accommodates varying phasing betw...

Movement Coordination

Movement Coordination during Conversation

Behavioral coordination and synchrony contribute to a common biological mechanism that maintains communication, cooperation and bonding within many social species, such as primates and birds. Similarly, human language and social systems may also be attuned to coordination to facilitate communication and the formation of relationships. Gross similarities in movement patterns and convergence in t...

First Movement: Coordination

Movement Coordination or Movement Interference: Visual Tracking and Spontaneous Coordination Modulate Rhythmic Movement Interference

When an actor performs a rhythmic limb movement while observing a spatially incongruent movement he or she exhibits increased movement orthogonal to the instructed motion. Known as rhythmic movement interference, this phenomenon has been interpreted as a motor contagion effect, whereby observing the incongruent movement interferes with the intended movement and results in a motor production err...
