Abstract
The purpose of this study was to focus on the gaze shift in a coordinated musical performance and experimentally clarify its role in the matched timing of the players. To summarize the results obtained in the present study, (1) the number of gaze shifts for the expert was less than that for the non-expert; (2) the expert’s gaze shifts decreased significantly at the moment of a beat; (3) the expert did not turn his gaze on the drum surface, but turned his gaze between his drum and the opposite person’s drum; and (4) the percentages of gaze location on the drum surface of the self and the drum surface of the opposite person were higher in the case of the non-expert.
