Although a growing literature points to substantial variation in speech/language abilities
related to individual differences in musical abilities, mainstream models of communication …

Studies of rhythm processing and of reward have progressed separately, with little
connection between the two. However, consistent links between rhythm and reward are …

Training based on rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) can improve gait in patients with
idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Patients typically walk faster and exhibit greater stride …

Humans have a remarkable capacity for perceiving and producing rhythm. Rhythmic
competence is often viewed as a single concept, with participants who perform more or less …

That attention is a fundamentally rhythmic process has recently received abundant empirical
evidence. The essence of temporal attention, however, is to flexibly focus in time. Whether …

Humans' ability to synchronize movement with auditory rhythms relies on motor networks,
such as cortical areas, basal ganglia and the cerebellum, which also participate in rhythm …

Children and adults with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) fail in simple tasks
like telling whether two sounds have different durations, or in reproducing single durations …

Humans perceive and spontaneously move to one or several levels of periodic pulses (a
meter, for short) when listening to musical rhythm, even when the sensory input does not …

Moving in synchrony to the beat is a fundamental component of musicality. Here we
conducted a genome-wide association study to identify common genetic variants associated …

Beat perception is increasingly being recognised as a fundamental musical ability. A
number of psychometric instruments have been developed to assess this ability, but these …
