Entraining the Brain: Applications to Language Research and Links to Musical Entrainment

Empirical Musicology Review, 2012
Clayton’s paper provides a clear and accessible summary of the significance of entrainment for music making, and for human behaviour in general. He notes the central role of metrical structure in musical entrainment, the possible role of oscillatory ...

Untethered Magnetic Microswimmers for Targeted Particle Transport and Flow Manipulation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces magnetically actuated microswimmers to dynamically reconfigure fluid flow within a single microfluidic device. Multiple homogeneous microswimmers are independently controlled by an external magnetic field to perform translational and rotational motions, thereby inducing real‐time flow manipulation.

The sweet spot between predictability and surprise: musical groove in brain, body, and social interactions

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
Groove—defined as the pleasurable urge to move to a rhythm—depends on a fine-tuned interplay between predictability arising from repetitive rhythmic patterns, and surprise arising from rhythmic deviations, for example in the form of syncopation.

Olfactory‐to‐Entorhinal Network Dysrhythmias Drive Parkinson's Cognitive Impairment Through Frequency‐Specific Oscillatory Decoupling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wang et al reveal that in the olfactory system, the selective impairment of gamma‐driven Barcode features underlying early olfactory deficits, while the selective impairment of theta‐driven Barcode features underlying later cognitive deficits, further establishing cross‐network gamma oscillations in the early stage as a biomarker of later cognitive ...

Cortical Entrainment to Continuous Speech: Functional Roles and Interpretations

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Auditory cortical activity is entrained to the temporal envelope of speech, which corresponds to the syllabic rhythm of speech. Such entrained cortical activity can be measured from subjects naturally listening to sentences or spoken passages, and ...

Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Microvortices for Selective Microcargo Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a frequency‐encoded, reconfigurable acoustofluidic system that overcomes the low throughput and poor selectivity of conventional micro‐delivery methods. By exploiting discrete microbubble resonances to program adaptive microvortex modes, the platform enables real‐time switching and selective guidance of microscale payloads through ...

Post‐Translational Modifications in Animal Circadian Clocks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Circadian clocks coordinate physiology with daily environmental cycles through conserved transcriptional–translational feedback loops. This review summarizes how post‐translational modifications fine‐tune clock function, highlights the evolutionary convergence of circadian timekeeping in Drosophila and mammals, and emphasizes the central of these ...

A novel photic entrainment mechanism for the circadian clock in an insect: involvement of c-fos and cryptochromes

Zoological Letters, 2018
Background Entrainment to the environmental light cycle is an essential property of the circadian clock. Although the compound eye is known to be the major photoreceptor necessary for entrainment in many insects, the molecular mechanisms of photic ...

Improving the Thermoelectric Properties of Conjugated Polymer Thin Films by Dip Coating – but not through Alignment

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates that dip coating at lower speeds significantly enhances the thermoelectric performance of P3HT by improving electrical conductivity. Contrary to expectations, this improvement is seemingly not due to polymer alignment but rather to better structural order achieved during slower solvent evaporation at lower dip coating speeds ...
