The paper tests newborns' ability to categorize rhythms, finding neural responses that suggest innate predispositions and early plasticity in rhythm processing.

The paper shows that longer sound durations enhance neural representation of musical beat, beyond just onset timing, by manipulating sound duration in EEG experiments.

The paper investigates how neural representations of acoustic and tactile rhythms differ, finding that acoustic rhythms elicit low-frequency periodized neural activity linked to motor entrainment, while tactile rhythms show broader frequency responses with less stable tapping.

This study investigates how the brain categorizes musical rhythms using EEG, showing automatic categorical representation despite early auditory processing not reflecting these categories.

The paper investigates how repetition of rhythmic patterns enhances neural representation of musical meter through EEG and behavioral responses.
