Neural markers of speech comprehension: measuring EEG tracking of linguistic speech representations, controlling the speech acoustics

M Gillis, J Vanthornhout, JZ Simon… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
When listening to speech, our brain responses time lock to acoustic events in the stimulus.
Recent studies have also reported that cortical responses track linguistic representations of …

Neural entrainment to the beat: The “missing-pulse” phenomenon

I Tal, EW Large, E Rabinovitch, Y Wei… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Most humans have a near-automatic inclination to tap, clap, or move to the beat of music.
The capacity to extract a periodic beat from a complex musical segment is remarkable, as it …

Neural tracking of the musical beat is enhanced by low-frequency sounds

T Lenc, PE Keller, M Varlet… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Music makes us move, and using bass instruments to build the rhythmic foundations of
music is especially effective at inducing people to dance to periodic pulse-like beats. Here …

[HTML][HTML] Auditory-motor entrainment and phonological skills: precise auditory timing hypothesis (PATH)

A Tierney, N Kraus - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Phonological skills are enhanced by music training, but the mechanisms enabling this cross-

[HTML][HTML] What makes a rhythm complex? The influence of musical training and accent type on beat perception

FL Bouwer, JA Burgoyne, D Odijk, H Honing… - PLoS One, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Perception of a regular beat in music is inferred from different types of accents. For example,
increases in loudness cause intensity accents, and the grouping of time intervals in a rhythm …
