Co-occurrence of Deficits in Beat Perception and Synchronization Supports Implication of Motor System in Beat Perception [PDF]
Music & Science, 2021 The main goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that disorders in entrainment to the beat of music originate from motor deficits. To this aim, we adapted the Beat Alignment Test and tested a large pool of control subjects, as well as nine ...

Beat Perception and Sociability: Evidence from Williams Syndrome. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2016 Beat perception in music has been proposed to be a human universal that may have its origins in adaptive processes involving temporal entrainment such as social communication and interaction.

Vocal learning as a preadaptation for the evolution of human beat perception and synchronization. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021 The human capacity to synchronize movements to an auditory beat is central to musical behaviour and to debates over the evolution of human musicality.

The Harvard Beat Assessment Test (H-BAT): A Battery for Assessing Beat Perception and Production and their Dissociation [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Humans have the abilities to perceive, produce, and synchronize with a musical beat, yet there are widespread individual differences. To investigate these abilities and to determine if a dissociation between beat perception and production exists, we ...

Measuring self-similarity in empirical signals to understand musical beat perception. [PDF]
Eur J NeurosciExperiencing music often entails the perception of a periodic beat. Despite being a widespread phenomenon across cultures, the nature and neural underpinnings of beat perception remain largely unknown.

Neural responses to sounds presented on and off the beat of ecologically valid music [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013 The tracking of rhythmic structure is a vital component of speech and music perception. It is known that sequences of identical sounds can give rise to the percept of alternating strong and weak sounds, and that this percept is linked to enhanced ...

Perception of temporal structure in speech is influenced by body movement and individual beat perception ability. [PDF]
Atten Percept PsychophysThe subjective experience of time flow in speech deviates from the sound acoustics in substantial ways. The present study focuses on the perceptual tendency to regularize time intervals found in speech but not in other types of sounds with a similar ...

A Simpler Explanation for Vestibular Influence on Beat Perception: No Specialized Unit Needed [PDF]
Empirical Musicology Review, 2009 Some researchers have hypothesized the existence of a specialized brain unit for beat perception in music which is directly influenced by vestibular stimulation arising from motion.
