Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural
entrainment is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to …

Objective: Music and speech are complex signals containing regularities in how they unfold
in time. Similarities between music and speech/language in terms of their auditory features …

Selective attention comprises essential infrastructural functions supporting cognition—
anticipating, prioritizing, selecting, routing, integrating, and preparing signals to guide …

The ability to predict when something will happen facilitates sensory processing and the
ensuing computations. Building on the observation that neural activity entrains to periodic …

Although a growing literature points to substantial variation in speech/language abilities
related to individual differences in musical abilities, mainstream models of communication …

Does rhythmic neural activity merely echo the rhythmic features of the environment, or does
it reflect a fundamental computational mechanism of the brain? This debate has generated a …

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 …

Voluntary allocation of visual attention is controlled by top-down signals generated within
the Frontal Eye Fields (FEFs) that can change the excitability of lower-level visual areas …

Neural oscillations track linguistic information during speech comprehension (Ding et al.,
2016; Keitel et al., 2018), and are known to be modulated by acoustic landmarks and …
