Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

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 …

Music comprises a diverse category of cognitive phenomena that likely represent both the
effects of psychological adaptations that are specific to music (eg, rhythmic entrainment) and …

Many group-living animals, humans included, occasionally synchronize their behavior with
that of conspecifics. Social psychology and neuroscience have attempted to explain this …

Interpersonal musical entrainment—temporal synchronization and coordination between
individuals in musical contexts—is a ubiquitous phenomenon related to music's social …

It is undisputed that presenting a rhythmic stimulus leads to a measurable brain response
that follows the rhythmic structure of this stimulus. What is still debated, however, is the …

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 …

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

The self-domestication hypothesis suggests that, like mammalian domesticates, humans
have gone through a process of selection against aggression–a process that in the case of …

4 Henkjan Honing origins. Our aspiration as editor and chapter authors is that this book will
lay a new interdisciplinary and comparative foundation for the study of musicality. The key …
