    "title": "Can Joint Action be Synergistic?\nStudying the Stabilization of Interpersonal Hand Coordination",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The human perceptual-motor system is tightly coupled to the\nphysical and informational dynamics of a task environment and\nthese dynamics operate to constrain the high-dimensional order of\nthe human movement system into low-dimensional, task-specific\nsynergies. The aim of the current study was to determine whether\nsynergistic processes constrain and organize the behavior of coacting\nindividuals. Participants sat next to each other and each used\none arm to complete a pointer-to-target task. Using the\nuncontrolled manifold, the structure of joint-angle variance was\nexamined to determine whether there was synergistic organization\nat the interpersonal or intrapersonal levels. The results revealed the\nmotor actions performed were synergistically organized at both the\ninterpersonal and intrapersonal levels. More importantly, the\ninterpersonal synergy was found to be significantly stronger than\nthe intrapersonal synergies. Accordingly, the results provide clear\nevidence that the action dynamics of co-acting individuals can\nbecome temporarily organized to form single synergistic twoperson\nsystems.",
