Timing is critical to most forms of learning, behavior, and sensory-motor processing.
Converging evidence supports the notion that, precisely because of its importance across a …

Behavioral and brain rhythms in the millisecond-to-second range are central in human
music, speech, and movement. A comparative approach can further our understanding of …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder. Its symptoms are
typically treated with levodopa or dopamine receptor agonists, but its action lacks specificity …

Durations are defined by a beginning and an end, and a major distinction is drawn between
durations that start in the present and end in the future ('prospective timing') and durations …

A sequence of images, sounds, or words can be stored at several levels of detail, from
specific items and their timing to abstract structure. We propose a taxonomy of five distinct …

Humans possess an ability to perceive and synchronize movements to the beat in music
('beat perception and synchronization'), and recent neuroscientific data have offered new …

Beat perception offers cognitive scientists an exciting opportunity to explore how cognition
and action are intertwined in the brain even in the absence of movement. Many believe the …

Entrainment of cortical rhythms to acoustic rhythms has been hypothesized to be the neural
correlate of pulse and meter perception in music. Dynamic attending theory first proposed …
