The human capacity to synchronize movements to an auditory beat is central to musical
behaviour and to debates over the evolution of human musicality. Have humans evolved …

When listening to music, we naturally move our bodies rhythmically to the beat, which can
be pleasurable and difficult to resist. This pleasurable sensation of wanting to move the body …

Musical collaboration emerges from the complex interaction of environmental and
informational constraints, including those of the instruments and the performance context …

Music psychology defines groove as humans' pleasureable urge to move their body in
synchrony with music. Past research has found that rhythmic syncopation, event density …

Music performance requires high levels of motor control. Professional musicians use body
movements not only to accomplish and help technical efficiency, but to shape expressive …

In this article, we review recent advances in research on rhythm and musical beat
perception, focusing on the role of predictive processes in auditory motor interactions. We …

Music is both heard and felt—tactile sensation is especially pronounced for bass
frequencies. Although bass frequencies have been associated with enhanced bodily …

The tendency for groove-based music to induce body movements has been linked to
multiple acoustical factors. However, it is unclear how or whether tempo affects groove …

It has long been known that the auditory system is better suited to guide temporally precise
behaviors like sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) than the visual system. Although this …

There is growing interest in whether the motor system plays an essential role in rhythm
perception. The motor system is active during the perception of rhythms, but is such motor …
