This study shows that reward enhances auditory pattern encoding in the primate globus pallidus, with responses persisting even after reward is removed.

This study uses tDCS to test the causal role of motor brain areas in rhythm reproduction but finds no effect on accuracy.

This study shows that musical training improves auditory stream segregation through enhanced auditory working memory, confirmed in two independent samples.

This study investigates how beat salience in music affects gait during rhythmic auditory stimulation, finding that beat salience improves period-matching but not phase-matching in low-groove music.

The paper uses RSA to analyze neural representations of beat and rhythm in motor and association regions during fMRI, finding beat-sensitivity in the putamen, SMA, IFG, and inferior parietal cortex.

This study investigates how supplementary motor area (SMA) excitability affects rhythm discrimination using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), finding improved performance with increased SMA excitability.

The paper uses fMRI to identify striatal subregions involved in different stages of beat perception, finding dorsal putamen for beat finding and ventral putamen for beat adjustment.

This study investigates how aging, Parkinson’s disease, and dopamine treatment affect auditory regularity processing using EEG, finding age-related declines and dopaminergic therapy reducing sustained neural responses.

This study investigates whether beat perception in rhythm is a form of chunking by comparing brain activation patterns during encoding and discrimination of rhythmic and verbal sequences.
