Time processing in the few hundred milliseconds range is involved in the human skill of
sensorimotor synchronization, like playing music in an ensemble or finger tapping to an
external beat. In finger tapping, a mechanistic explanation in biologically plausible terms of
how the brain achieves synchronization is still missing despite considerable research. In this
work we show that nonlinear effects are important for the recovery of synchronization
following a perturbation (a step change in stimulus period), even for perturbation …
