The structure of the brain and the nature of evolution suggest that, despite its uniqueness,
language likely depends on brain systems that also subserve other functions. The …

neurorehabilitation is to exploit interventions based on human and animal studies about …

Music performance is both a natural human activity, present in all societies, and one of the
most complex and demanding cognitive challenges that the human mind can undertake …

We examine the evidence that speech and musical sounds exploit different acoustic cues:
speech is highly dependent on rapidly changing broadband sounds, whereas tonal patterns …

Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS), the rhythmic coordination of perception and action,
occurs in many contexts, but most conspicuously in music performance and dance. In the …

When we listen to rhythm, we often move spontaneously to the beat. This movement may
result from processing of the beat by motor areas. Previous studies have shown that several …

Specific Language Impairment (SLI) has been explained by two broad classes of
hypotheses, which posit either a deficit specific to grammar, or a non-linguistic processing …

We all have a sense of time. Yet, there are no sensory receptors specifically dedicated for
perceiving time. It is an almost uniquely intangible sensation: we cannot see time in the way …
