Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Conducting an orchestra is a kind of communication by gesture. To investigate the features of such movements, the differences of hand trajectories between skilled and unskilled persons in conducting were analyzed. Subjects were required to make rhythmic arm movements like a conductor in a sagittal plane. As a result, it was found that the errors between the time when the conductor's hand passed the lowest position and the time when the change of joint torque reached a peak value were significantly small. These results suggest that the conductor represents the rhythm by synchronizing the features about the dynamics and the kinematics.
