When two people converse both are almost always in motion. As a speaker's posture shifts, the listener's does too, and the two together become coordinated with the speaker's speech rhythms. We don't always notice but this kind of social coordination happens all the time. People coordinate the movements of their bodies, even in the awkward social situation of a laboratory experiment. Movements are subtly and unintentionally synchronized as in an unconscious dance. This dance is important and is associated with mental health. It breaks down with psychological dysfunctions such as schizophrenia, autism and even marital dissatisfaction. Thus a fundamental science of social synchronization would broadly impact our understanding of social concerns and further advance the possibilities for therapy.With support from the National Science Foundation, Dr. Richard Schmidt and Dr. Carol Fowler will advance our understanding of the perceptual and cognitive processes that support social interactions, the processes that allow synchronization of movements in natural interactions. Past research by these scientists and others suggests general dynamical principles that underlie interpersonal coordination. These previous studies established that talking with another person or seeing the other person's movements provide the coupling mediums, the bases for coordination. The funded research will investigate how the mind and body interact to organize this coordination. The new experiments put people together to solve problems and then track how the shared problem solving-the degree of psychological coordination-contributes to movement coordination. Subtle movements to maintain posture as well as overt rhythmic movements are recorded for analysis using modern mathematical tools of nonlinear dynamics. Different experiments contrast movements of limbs, torso, and other parts of the body, competitive vs. cooperative tasks, natural vs. rhythmic speaking, and how much can be seen of another's person's movements.

当两个人匡威时，两个人几乎都在运动。 当说话者的姿势发生变化时，听者的姿势也会发生变化，两者一起随着说话者的讲话节奏而协调起来。 我们并不总是注意到，但这种社会协调一直在发生。 人们协调他们的身体运动，即使是在实验室实验的尴尬社交场合。 动作是微妙和无意中同步的，就像在无意识的舞蹈中。 这种舞蹈很重要，与心理健康有关。 它会随着精神分裂症、自闭症甚至婚姻不满等心理障碍而崩溃。 因此，社会同步的基础科学将广泛影响我们对社会问题的理解，并进一步推进治疗的可能性。在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，理查德施密特博士和卡罗尔福勒博士将推进我们对支持社会互动的感知和认知过程的理解，这些过程允许自然互动中的运动同步。 这些科学家和其他人过去的研究表明，人际协调的基础是一般的动力学原则。 这些先前的研究表明，与另一个人交谈或看到对方的动作提供了耦合媒介，协调的基础。 受资助的研究将调查大脑和身体如何相互作用来组织这种协调。 新的实验将人们放在一起解决问题，然后跟踪共同解决问题的心理协调程度如何有助于运动协调。 微妙的动作，以保持姿势，以及公开的节奏运动记录分析使用现代数学工具的非线性动力学。 不同的实验对比了四肢、躯干和身体其他部位的运动，竞争与合作的任务，自然与有节奏的说话，以及可以看到多少另一个人的动作。
