summaryPast research has demonstrated that stabilities exhibited by interpersonal rhythmic synergies can be successfully modeled by fairly simple dynamical equations. Studies have used these models to help understand the dynamical and perceptual constraints on those synergies as well as how their stability relate to individual differences seen in measures of personality as well as psychological disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. However, the coordinated sinusoidal rhythmic movements evaluated in this research are somewhat simpler than the movements and coordination seen in natural joint actions. Naturally occurring interpersonal coordination seems to be characterized by an intermittent coupling of serial ordered stabilities occurring at different time scales. The intermittency, symmetry breaking and time-scale nesting within the interpersonal coordination of naturally occurring rhythmic synergies necessitate new and more complex dynamical modeling be pursued.
