The ability to move to a beat is linked to the consistency of neural responses to sound

A Tierney, N Kraus - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
The ability to synchronize movement to a steady beat is a fundamental skill underlying
musical performance and has been studied for decades as a model of sensorimotor …

Auditory-motor synchronization varies among individuals and is critically shaped by acoustic features

C Mares, R Echavarría Solana, MF Assaneo - Communications Biology, 2023 - nature.com
The ability to synchronize body movements with quasi-regular auditory stimuli represents a
fundamental trait in humans at the core of speech and music. Despite the long trajectory of …

Rhythm complexity modulates behavioral and neural dynamics during auditory–motor synchronization

B Mathias, A Zamm, PG Gianferrara, B Ross… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2020 - direct.mit.edu
We addressed how rhythm complexity influences auditory–motor synchronization in
musically trained individuals who perceived and produced complex rhythms while EEG was …

Synchronization to auditory and visual rhythms in hearing and deaf individuals

JR Iversen, AD Patel, B Nicodemus, K Emmorey - Cognition, 2015 - Elsevier
A striking asymmetry in human sensorimotor processing is that humans synchronize
movements to rhythmic sound with far greater precision than to temporally equivalent visual …

Synchronization to a bouncing ball with a realistic motion trajectory

L Gan, Y Huang, L Zhou, C Qian, X Wu - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
Daily music experience involves synchronizing movements in time with a perceived periodic
beat. It has been established for over a century that beat synchronization is less stable for …

Rhythm synchronization performance and auditory working memory in early-and late-trained musicians

JA Bailey, VB Penhune - Experimental brain research, 2010 - Springer
Behavioural and neuroimaging studies provide evidence for a possible “sensitive” period in
childhood development during which musical training results in long-lasting changes in …

[PDF][PDF] Investigating the human-specificity of synchronization to music

AD Patel, JR Iversen, MR Bregman… - Proceedings of the …, 2008 - finearts.uvic.ca
One universal of human music perception is the tendency to move in synchrony with a
periodic beat (eg, in dance). This response is not commonly observed in nonhuman …

Twelve months of active musical training in 8-to 10-year-old children enhances the preattentive processing of syllabic duration and voice onset time

J Chobert, C François, JL Velay, M Besson - Cerebral cortex, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Musical training has been shown to positively influence linguistic abilities. To follow the
developmental dynamics of this transfer effect at the preattentive level, we conducted a …

Enhanced brainstem and cortical encoding of sound during synchronized movement

S Nozaradan, M Schönwiesner, L Caron-Desrochers… - Neuroimage, 2016 - Elsevier
Movement to a steady beat has been widely studied as a model of alignment of motor
outputs on sensory inputs. However, how the encoding of sensory inputs is shaped during …

Musical training heightens auditory brainstem function during sensitive periods in development

E Skoe, N Kraus - Frontiers in psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Experience has a profound influence on how sound is processed in the brain. Yet little is
known about how enriched experiences interact with developmental processes to shape …
