Language discrimination by newborns: Teasing apart phonotactic, rhythmic, and intonational cues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Speech rhythm has long been claimed to be a useful bootstrapping cue in the very first steps of language acquisition. Previous studies have suggested that newborn infants do categorize varieties of speech rhythm, as demonstrated by their ability to ...

The rhythm of coupled metronomes

open access: yes, 2013
Spontaneous synchronization of an ensemble of metronomes placed on a freely rotating platform is studied experimentally and by computer simulations. A striking in-phase synchronization is observed when the metronomes' beat frequencies are fixed above a ...

Dual‐Working‐Pattern Nanosheet‐Based Hydrogel Sensors for Constructing Human‐Machine and Physiological‐Electric Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hydrogels hold great potential as candidates for next‐generation epidermal electronics; however, an unresolved issue remains: the differentiation and selection of sensing modes in hydrogel sensors. This study integrates series‐parallel conductive nanosheet configurations into an ultra‐soft hydrogel, resulting in enhanced signal intensity and ...

The Possible Role of Extra-ocular Photoreceptors in the Entrainment of Lobster Circadian Rhythms to Light:Dark Cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The American lobster, Homarus americanus, is a decapod crustacean whose daily nocturnal rhythms of activity are driven, in part, by an internal biological clock. While this circadian clock is capable of producing a rhythm of approximately 24 hours on its

Neural Networks for Beat Perception in Musical Rhythm

open access: yesFrontiers 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 40 years ago, but

Network Desynchronization with Sine Waves: from Synchrony to Asynchrony by Periodic Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Exogenous alternating current fields are explored and interact with cerebral cortex slow waves in vitro and in silico. Varying frequency and amplitude of sine waves result in distinct network dynamics, from phase‐locking and entrainment to desynchronization. These responses occupy specific regions within the parameter space.

A High‐Fidelity RNA‐Targeting Cas13X Downregulates Connexin43 in Macroglia: A Novel Neuroprotective Strategy for Glaucoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the role of connexin43 (Cx43) in mediating glia activation and neuroinflammation in glaucoma. Using Cx43 knockout mice, it is shown that macroglial cells‐derived Cx43 modulates microglial activation, proliferation, migration, and polarization.
