Rhythmicity permeates large parts of human experience. Humans generate various motor
and brain rhythms spanning a range of frequencies. We also experience and synchronize to …

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 …

A musician's spontaneous rate of movement, called spontaneous motor tempo (SMT), can
be measured while spontaneously playing a simple melody. Data shows that the SMT …

Humans and animals can effortlessly coordinate their movements with external stimuli. This
capacity indicates that sensory inputs can rapidly and flexibly reconfigure the ongoing …

Dancing and playing music require people to coordinate actions with auditory rhythms. In
laboratory perception-action coordination tasks, people are asked to synchronize taps with a …

Despite music's omnipresence, the specific neural mechanisms responsible for perceiving
and anticipating temporal patterns in music are unknown. To study potential mechanisms for …

The major tenets of beat-frequency/coincidence-detection models of reward-related timing
are reviewed in light of recent behavioral and neurobiological findings. This includes the …

The most recognizable features of the jazz phrasing style known as “swing” is the
articulation of tactus beat subdivisions into long-short patterns (known as “swing eighths”) …
