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 …

We have come to recognize the brain as a predictive organ, anticipating attributes of the
incoming sensory stimulation to guide perception and action in the service of adaptive …

Why do humans make music? Theories of the evolution of musicality have focused mainly
on the value of music for specific adaptive contexts such as mate selection, parental care …

Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

Behavioral and brain rhythms in the millisecond-to-second range are central in human
music, speech, and movement. A comparative approach can further our understanding of …

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 …

Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

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 …

Time is a universal psychological dimension, but time perception has often been studied
and discussed in relative isolation. Increasingly, researchers are searching for unifying …

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 …
