How Sound Shapes Rhythm in the Brain
Research reveals that people keep the beat to music through slow waves of activity in the brain that correspond to the perceived beat, allowing them to move in synchronization.
Auditory rhythms induce slow brain waves that align with the musical beat, enabling precise movement synchronization, such as tapping feet or nodding heads.
In contrast, tactile rhythms elicit brain responses to individual vibrations without generating similar beat-related fluctuations, resulting in less accurate tapping.
Sound, but not touch, effectively shapes rhythmic processing in the brain.
This study highlights the unique role of sound in shaping rhythmic processing in the brain.
