In less than three decades, the concept “cerebellar neurocognition” has evolved from a mere
afterthought to an entirely new and multifaceted area of neuroscientific research. A close …

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 …

Apart from its function in speech motor control, the supplementary motor area (SMA) has
largely been neglected in models of speech and language processing in the brain. The aim …

Humans share with other animals an ability to measure the passage of physical time and
subjectively experience a sense of time passing. Subjective time has hallmark qualities, akin …

Attention is a hypothetical mechanism in the service of perception that facilitates the
processing of relevant information and inhibits the processing of irrelevant information …

The articles in this special issue provide a rich and thoughtful perspective on the brain as an
inference machine. They illuminate key aspects of the internal or generative models the …

The auditory system essentially deals with sequential type of input and thus requires
processing that is particularly suited to extract stimulus relations within a sequence …

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

Humans have a remarkable capacity for perceiving and producing rhythm. Rhythmic
competence is often viewed as a single concept, with participants who perform more or less …

Synchronizing movements with auditory beats, compared to visual flashes, yields divergent
activation in timing-related brain areas as well as more stable tapping synchronization. The …
