Abstract

We describe the Human Dynamic Clamp or virtual partner interaction paradigm-itself inspired by cellular neuroscience-which allows humans to interact in real time with avatars driven by empirically verified models of biological coordination such as the HKB and Jirsa-Kelso Excitator models of rhythmic and discrete movement behavior. The Human Dynamic Clamp allows one to explore the parameter spaces of interactional dynamics in a variety of different contexts as well as to produce some surprising emergent effects, including the possibility of relating 1st and 3rd person descriptions and their neural correlates.
