Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

Auditory cortical activity is entrained to the temporal envelope of speech, which corresponds
to the syllabic rhythm of speech. Such entrained cortical activity can be measured from …

The ability to focus on and understand one talker in a noisy social environment is a critical
social-cognitive capacity, whose underlying neuronal mechanisms are unclear. We …

Cortical oscillations are likely candidates for segmentation and coding of continuous
speech. Here, we monitored continuous speech processing with magnetoencephalography …

A visual scene is perceived in terms of visual objects. Similar ideas have been proposed for
the analogous case of auditory scene analysis, although their hypothesized neural …

A key feature of speech is the quasi-regular rhythmic information contained in its slow
amplitude modulations. In this article we review the information conveyed by speech rhythm …

Speech is crucial for communication in everyday life. Speech-brain entrainment, the
alignment of neural activity to the slow temporal fluctuations (envelope) of acoustic speech …

Brain operation is profoundly rhythmic. Oscillations of neural excitability shape sensory,
motor, and cognitive processes. Intrinsic oscillations also entrain to external rhythms …

Fundamental to the experience of music, beat and meter perception refers to the perception
of periodicities while listening to music occurring within the frequency range of musical …

Most humans have a near-automatic inclination to tap, clap, or move to the beat of music.
The capacity to extract a periodic beat from a complex musical segment is remarkable, as it …
