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

Infant-directed singing is a culturally universal musical phenomenon known to promote the
bonding of infants and caregivers. Entrainment is a widely observed physical phenomenon …

While there is an increasing shift in cognitive science to study perception of naturalistic
stimuli, this study extends this goal to naturalistic contexts by assessing physiological …

Groove, understood as an enjoyable compulsion to move to musical rhythms, typically varies
along an inverted U-curve with increasing rhythmic complexity (eg, syncopation, pickups) …

The pupil of the eye provides a rich source of information for cognitive scientists, as it can
index a variety of bodily states (eg, arousal, fatigue) and cognitive processes (eg, attention …

The human eye is a rich source of information about where, when, and how we attend. Our
gaze paths indicate where and what captures our attention, while changes in pupil size can …

Though eye-tracking is typically a methodology applied in the visual research domain,
recent studies suggest its relevance in the context of music research. There exists a …

Humans automatically detect events that, in deviating from their expectations, may signal
prediction failure and a need to reorient behaviour. The pupil dilation response (PDR) to …

Synchrony has been used to describe simple beat entrainment as well as correlated mental
processes between people, leading some to question whether the term conflates distinct …

The present study tested two assumptions concerning the auditory processing of microtiming
in musical grooves (ie, repeating, movement-inducing rhythmic patterns): 1) Microtiming …
