Humans tend to anticipate events when they synchronize their actions with sound (such as when they clap to music), which has puzzled scientists for decades. What accounts for this anticipation? We review two theoretical mechanisms for synchrony: predictive coding and dynamical systems. Both theories are grounded in neural activation patterns, but there are important distinctions. We contrast their assumptions, their computations, and their musical applications to anticipatory synchronization.

我们及时吗？预测编码和动态系统如何解释音乐同步

当人类将他们的动作与声音同步时（例如当他们随着音乐鼓掌时），他们往往会预测事件，这让科学家们困惑了几十年。是什么导致了这种预期？我们回顾了同步的两种理论机制：预测编码和动态系统。两种理论都以神经激活模式为基础，但存在重要区别。我们将他们的假设、计算和音乐应用与预期同步进行对比。
