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

This study shows that macaques can synchronize to complex rhythms and generalize rhythmic representations, similar to humans, with a bias towards isochrony and integer ratios.

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

This study trains macaques in a visual tapping task and identifies two timing strategies used for synchronization across tempos.

The paper shows that timbral manipulations can reshape harmonic consonance preferences and influence the evolution of musical scales through large-scale behavioral experiments and computational modeling.

The paper investigates how musical pitch perception varies with task and expertise, showing that no single geometrical model suffices and that composite representations better capture the data.

This study conducts a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants linked to musical beat synchronization, finding high polygenicity with 69 significant loci and heritability estimates of 13%-16%.

This study uses online iterated singing experiments to show that cognitive and motor constraints shape melodic structure through oral transmission.

REPP enables accurate online sensorimotor synchronization experiments using standard laptop hardware with high temporal accuracy and reliability.

This study finds that slow online error-correction in autism disrupts sensorimotor synchronization, linking it to social difficulties.
