Timing of action during and after synchronization with linearly changing intervals

• Musicians and nonmusicians synchronized to sound sequences in which each of 90 successive intervals increased or decreased by the same amount of time. After this they continued to produce 30 beats without interruption. Synchronization appeared both efficient and effortless for all levels of tempo change, as indicated by equal dispersion among the asynchronies. For up to 1 ms change per interval asynchronies between sounds and responses during synchronization were negative for increasing intervals and positive for decreasing intervals. We discuss the bearing of these results on listeners' ability to create and sustain an internal non-isochronous periodic process.
