Beat perception in polyrhythms: Time is structured in binary units. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 In everyday life, we group and subdivide time to understand the sensory environment surrounding us. Organizing time in units, such as diurnal rhythms, phrases, and beat patterns, is fundamental to behavior, speech, and music. When listening to music, our

Neural networks for beat perception in musical rhythm [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015 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 synchronization of endogenous perceptual rhythms nearly forty years ago ...

The effects of Parkinson’s disease, music training, and dance training on beat perception and production abilities [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Humans naturally perceive and move to a musical beat, entraining body movements to auditory rhythms through clapping, tapping, and dancing. Yet the accuracy of this seemingly effortless behavior varies widely across individuals.

Testing beat perception without sensory cues to the beat: the Beat-Drop Alignment Test (BDAT). [PDF]
Atten Percept Psychophys, 2022 Beat perception can serve as a window into internal time-keeping mechanisms, auditory–motor interactions, and aspects of cognition. One aspect of beat perception is the covert continuation of an internal pulse.

What makes a rhythm complex? The influence of musical training and accent type on beat perception. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 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 creates temporal accents.

Auditory beat perception is related to speech output fluency in post-stroke aphasia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Aphasia affects at least one third of stroke survivors, and there is increasing awareness that more fundamental deficits in auditory processing might contribute to impaired language performance in such individuals. We performed a comprehensive battery of

What can we learn about beat perception by comparing brain signals and stimulus envelopes? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Entrainment of neural oscillations on multiple time scales is important for the perception of speech. Musical rhythms, and in particular the perception of a regular beat in musical rhythms, is also likely to rely on entrainment of neural oscillations ...

The evolutionary neuroscience of musical beat perception: the Action Simulation for Auditory Prediction (ASAP) hypothesis [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 Every human culture has some form of music with a beat: a perceived periodic pulse that structures the perception of musical rhythm and which serves as a framework for synchronized movement to music.

Rhythmic tapping difficulties in adults who stutter: A deficit in beat perception, motor execution, or sensorimotor integration? [PDF]
PLoS One, 2023 Objectives The study aims to better understand the rhythmic abilities of people who stutter and to identify which processes potentially are impaired in this population: (1) beat perception and reproduction; (2) the execution of movements, in particular ...
