There was a significant simple effect of visual coupling ( p = 0.042) and a near-significant simple effect of full feedback ( p = 0.079) on the positive mean difference between improvisation (mutual entrainment only) and formal irregular rhythm, showing that closeness was significantly stronger with improvisation than with formal irregular rhythm in the conditions with visual coupling and full feedback.
