Optimal coupling and task-specificity when learning rhythmic synchronization with a tool with varying levels of predictability and controllability

2026-04-06

Abstract excerpt

Sensorimotor learning and tool use involve synchronizing with external dynamics. Many everyday tools possess nonlinear hidden dynamics. Here we investigate how learning to synchronize with the complex dynamics of a tool depends on the degree of predictability and reciprocal coupling between user and tool. We introduce the concept of optimal coupling to measure adaptive user-tool coordination. Groups of participant...
