Advances in artificial intelligence are stimulating interest in neuroscience. However, most
attention is given to discrete tasks with simple action spaces, such as board games and …

We discuss how cybernetic principles of feedback control, used to explain sensorimotor
behavior, can be extended to provide a foundation for understanding cognition. In particular …

In this article, we argue that motor and cognitive processes are functionally related and most
likely share a similar evolutionary history. This is supported by clinical and neural data …

Humans possess an ability to perceive and synchronize movements to the beat in music
('beat perception and synchronization'), and recent neuroscientific data have offered new …

Demonstrations that grip strength has predictive power in relation to a range of health
conditions—even when these are assessed decades later—has motivated claims that hand …

Musicality can be defined as a natural, spontaneously developing trait based on and
constrained by biology and cognition. Music, by contrast, can be defined as a social and …

Brain morphology has been shown to be highly heritable, yet only a small portion of the
heritability is explained by the genetic variants discovered so far. Here we extended the …

The human brain has undergone massive expansion across primate evolution through life
amidst multi-layered social attachments; within families, among friends, and between clan …

Exercise has multiple beneficial effects on health including decreasing the risk of
neurodegenerative diseases. Such effects are thought to be mediated (at least in part) by …

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 …
