Most models of cognitive processes are constrained to individual behavior, based on studies that measure auditory behaviors in isolation (sometimes in concert with a computer or a metronome). I will describe studies of individual and group behavior by musicians in terms of their motor activity and their reactions to auditory events. By manipulating the roles that performers take and the sensory feedback they experience, we measure how the goal of coordinating one's behavior with others affects the timing and motion of individuals' performance. Not surprisingly, scaling up to group behavior requires adjustment of typical cognitive paradigms and conceptual frameworks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Complete Fall schedule @ www.cogsci.buffalo.edu/Activities/Colloquium/CLLQf08/2008fall.html Background readings for each lecture are available to UB faculty and students on UB Learns.
