This study shows that synchronized rhythmic touch enhances and prolongs newborns' neural tracking of auditory rhythm beyond the period of tactile stimulation.

The paper investigates how tempo and metrical structure influence neural processing of auditory rhythm in newborns and adults, finding that adults show stable sensitivity to metrical structure while newborns' responses are tempo-dependent.

This study finds that individuals with dyslexia have impaired temporal prediction abilities, shown through reduced accuracy in auditory discrimination and altered perception of rhythmicity in sound sequences.

This study investigates how executive functions relate to updating probabilistic predictive representations during habit rewiring, finding positive links with inhibition and negative links with semantic fluency.

This study uses fNIRS to compare neural activity during musical and verbal short-term memory tasks, finding involvement of the dlPFC and IFG with load-dependent differences in activity patterns.

The paper investigates the relationship between implicit statistical learning and executive functions, finding a consistent negative correlation driven by verbal fluency and working memory.

This study investigates how congenital amusia affects perception of consonance through behavioral thresholds and brain responses to harmonicity and beating cues.

The paper investigates how harmonicity affects brain responses to sound sequences, finding larger MMN and P3a amplitudes and earlier latencies for harmonic sounds compared to inharmonic ones.

The paper investigates how congenital amusia affects sensitivity to context uncertainty in melodic sequences using EEG, finding preserved preattentive auditory change detection but pitch-specific impairments under high uncertainty.

This study investigates automatic processing of emotional and neutral sounds in congenital amusia using EEG, finding preserved MMN for emotional deviants but reduced P3a for salient deviants and early deficits in processing subtle acoustic changes.

This study investigates emotional prosody recognition in congenital amusia, finding preserved performance in sentences but deficits in vowels, linked to pitch processing difficulties.

This study shows that rhythmic musical priming improves grammaticality judgments in children, suggesting shared neural mechanisms between rhythm and grammar processing.
