Many group-living animals, humans included, occasionally synchronize their behavior with
that of conspecifics. Social psychology and neuroscience have attempted to explain this …

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 …

The sensation of groove has been defined as the pleasurable desire to move to music,
suggesting that both motor timing and reward processes are involved in this experience …

We present both a scientific overview and conceptual positions concerning the challenges
and assets of electrophysiological measurements in the search for the nature and functions …

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 …
