For many years, the dominant theoretical framework guiding research into the neural origins
of perceptual experience has been provided by hierarchical feedforward models, in which …

Predictive coding is possibly one of the most influential, comprehensive, and controversial
theories of neural function. While proponents praise its explanatory potential, critics object …

Research in basic and clinical neuroscience of music conducted over the past decades has
begun to uncover music's high potential as a tool for rehabilitation. Advances in our …

Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an
external rhythm, ranging from finger tapping in time with a metronome to musical ensemble …

Many theories of perception are anchored in the central notion that the brain continuously
updates an internal model of the world to infer the probable causes of sensory events. In this …

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 …

Beat perception offers cognitive scientists an exciting opportunity to explore how cognition
and action are intertwined in the brain even in the absence of movement. Many believe the …

Entrainment of cortical rhythms to acoustic rhythms has been hypothesized to be the neural
correlate of pulse and meter perception in music. Dynamic attending theory first proposed …

Recent studies establish that cortical oscillations track naturalistic speech in a remarkably
faithful way. Here, we test whether such neural activity, particularly low-frequency (< 8 Hz; …

Moving in synchrony with an auditory rhythm requires predictive action based on
neurodynamic representation of temporal information. Although it is known that a regular …
