Tapping performance and underlying wrist muscle activity of non-drummers, drummers, and the world's fastest drummer
Studies of rapid unimanual tapping have assumed that the human rate limit for voluntary
rhythmic movement is 5–7Hz, which corresponds to an inter-tap interval (ITI) of 150–200ms …

Dance expertise modulates visual sensitivity to complex biological movements
Motor resonance processes that occur when observing an individual perform an action may
be modulated by acquired visuomotor expertise. We used the event-related potential …

Intrinsic constraint of asymmetry acting as a control parameter on rapid, rhythmic bimanual coordination: a study of professional drummers and nondrummers
Expert musicians show experience-dependent reduced asymmetry in the structure of motor-
related brain areas and in the maximum tapping frequency between the hands. Therefore …
