The neuroscience of musical entrainment: insights from EEG frequency-tagging

Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event The neuroscience of musical entrainment: insights from EEG frequency-tagging Sylvie Nozaradan1* 1 Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium Music powerfully compels us to move to the musical rhythm, showcasing the remarkable ability of humans to perceive and produce rhythmic inputs. There is a wave of current research exploring the neural bases of this rhythmic entrainment in both human and non-human animals, in evolutionary terms and in development. One way to investigate these neural dynamics is frequency-tagging, an approach recently developed to capture the neural processing of musical rhythm with surface or intracerebral electroencephalography (EEG). Recent experiments conducted in healthy and brain-damaged adults, and also in infants, while exposed to simplified rhythmic patterns or naturalistic music will be presented. Results show that, although the auditory system presents a remarkable ability to synchronize to the rhythmic input, neural populations shape the rhythmic input by amplifying specific frequencies. This selective enhancement seems to correlate with perception and individual ability to move in time with musical rhythm. These different results may lead to a new understanding of the neural bases of rhythmic entrainment.
