Music and dance appear to have a social bonding effect, which some have theorized is part of their ultimate evolutionary function. Prior research has also found a social bonding effect of synchronized movement, and it is possible that interpersonal synchrony could be considered the “active ingredient” in the social bonding consequences of music or dance activity. The present study aimed to separate the effects of synchrony from other factors associated with joint experience of dancing by using a “silent disco” manipulation, in which the timing of a musical stimulus was varied within a dyad in a freestyle dance setting. Three conditions were included: synchrony, tempo-shifted (in which the tempo was stretched by 5% for one participant), and phase-shifted (in which the beat was offset by 90 degrees for one participant). It was found that, when participants were listening to music in time with each other, they gave higher subjective ratings of their experience interacting with their partner. Participants also were observed looking towards each other more in the synchrony condition, compared with the non-synchrony conditions. From this, it appears that sharing time may contribute to the social effects of joint dancing, independent of any other effects associated with sharing space on the dancefloor. Avenues for further research, and possibilities using this “silent disco” paradigm, are discussed.

Analyzing multidimensional movement interaction with generalized cross-wavelet transform
Toiviainen, Petri; Hartmann, Martín (Elsevier, 2022)Humans are able to synchronize with musical events whilst coordinating their movements with others. Interpersonal entrainment phenomena, such as dance, involve multiple body parts and movement directions. Along with being ... -

Drumming in time is easy : social bonding effects of synchrony arise from reduced cognitive load
Bamford, Joshua S.; Tarr, Bronwyn; Miles, Lynden; Cohen, Emma (Nihon University, 2023)The synchrony-bonding effect has often been observed, but the mechanisms behind it remain poorly understood. Numerous possible mechanisms have been proposed, however simple perceptual processing explanations have been ... -
The Integration of Social and Neural Synchrony : A Case for Ecologically-Valid Research Using MEG Neuroimaging
Levy, Jonathan; Lankinen, Kaisu; Hakonen, Maria; Feldman, Ruth (Oxford University Press, 2021)The recent decade has seen a shift from artificial and environmentally-deprived experiments in neuroscience to real-life studies on multiple brains in interaction, coordination and synchrony. In these new interpersonal ...
