Collective dynamics support group drumming, reduce variability, and stabilize tempo drift Open
Humans are social animals who engage in a variety of collective activities requiring coordinated action. Among these, music is a defining and ancient aspect of human sociality. Human social interaction has largely been addressed in dyadic …

Undetectable very-low frequency sound increases dancing at a live concert Open
Does low frequency sound (bass) make people dance more? Music that makes people want to move tends to have more low frequency sound, and bass instruments typically provide the musical pulse that people dance to1. Low pitches confer advanta…

Finding and Keeping the Beat: Neural Mechanisms Differ as Beat Perception Unfolds Open
Perception of a regular beat is essential to our ability to synchronize movements to music in an anticipatory fashion. Beat perception requires multiple, distinct neural functions, corresponding to the perceptual stages that occur over tim…

Commonality and variation in mental representations of music revealed by a cross-cultural comparison of rhythm priors in 15 countries Open
Music is present in every known society, yet varies from place to place. What, if anything, is universal to music cognition? We measured a signature of mental representations of rhythm in 39 participant groups in 15 countries, spanning urb…

Auditory representation of learned sound sequences in motor regions of the macaque brain Open
Human speech production requires the ability to couple motor actions with their auditory consequences. Nonhuman primates might not have speech because they lack this ability. To address this question, we trained macaques to perform an audi…

Comparison of Spontaneous Motor Tempo during Finger Tapping, Toe Tapping and Stepping on the Spot in People with and without Parkinson’s Disease Open
suggest SMT is generally faster in PWP than control groups, and more variable when measured with finger tapping compared to stepping on the spot.

Neural entrainment is associated with subjective groove and complexity for performed but not mechanical musical rhythms Open
Both movement and neural activity in humans can be entrained by the regularities of an external stimulus, such as the beat of musical rhythms. Neural entrainment to auditory rhythms supports temporal perception, and is enhanced by selectiv…

The Effect of Dopaminergic Medication on Beat-Based Auditory Timing in Parkinson’s Disease Open
Parkinson's disease (PD) adversely affects timing abilities. Beat-based timing is a mechanism that times events relative to a regular interval, such as the "beat" in musical rhythm, and is impaired in PD. It is unknown if dopaminergic medi…
View article: The Neural Mechanisms of Musical Rhythm Processing: Cross-Cultural Differences and the Stages of Beat Perception
The Neural Mechanisms of Musical Rhythm Processing: Cross-Cultural Differences and the Stages of Beat Perception Open
Music is a universal human behaviour, is fundamentally temporal, and has unique temporal properties. This thesis presents research on the cognitive neuroscience of the temporal aspects of music: rhythm, beat, and metre. Specifically, this …

Cross-cultural influences on rhythm processing: reproduction, discrimination, and beat tapping Open
The structures of musical rhythm differ between cultures, despite the fact that the ability to entrain movement to musical rhythm occurs in virtually all individuals across cultures. To measure the influence of culture on rhythm processing…
