Auditory rhythm encoding during the last trimester of human gestation: From tracking the basic beat to tracking hierarchical nested temporal structures.

Rhythm perception and synchronization to periodicity hold fundamental neurodevelopmental importance for language acquisition, musical behavior, and social communication. Rhythm is omnipresent in the fetal auditory world and newborns demonstrate sensitivity to auditory rhythmic cues. During the last trimester of gestation, the brain begins to respond to auditory stimulation and to code the auditory environment.

Even with the use of hearing aids (HAs), speech in noise perception remains challenging for older adults, impacting communication and quality of life outcomes. The association between music perception and speech-in-noise (SIN) outcomes is of interest, as there is evidence that professionally trained musicians are adept listeners in noisy environments. Thus, this study explored the association between music processing, cognitive factors, and the outcome variable of SIN perception, in older adults with hearing loss.

A case of amusia with beat deafness and apraxia of speech.

Neurocase

After experiencing two ischemic brain attacks, a 40-year-old, right-handed, female amateur cello player developed apraxia of speech (AOS) and amusia, especially on the aspect of the beat. Her tempo became gradually faster, but while playing, she could not recognize that. When she listened to her own recorded performances, she could identify the differences immediately and precisely.

Background: Humans exhibit a remarkable ability to synchronize their actions with external auditory stimuli through a process called auditory-motor or rhythmic entrainment. Positive effects of rhythmic entrainment have been demonstrated in adults with neurological movement disorders, yet the neural substrates supporting the transformation of auditory input into timed rhythmic motor outputs are not fully understood. We aimed to systematically map and synthesize the research on the neural correlates of auditory-motor entrainment and synchronization.

Step to the beat: Auditory-motor coupling during walking to higher and lower tempi with music and metronomes in progressive multiple sclerosis: An observational study.

Article Synopsis
  • Many people with progressive multiple sclerosis (PwPMS) face challenges with fatigue and walking, and a study is exploring whether they can sync their steps to music and metronomes, which could help with their gait.
  • In a case control study, both PwPMS and healthy controls (HCs) participated in walking exercises where they synchronized their steps to beats, revealing that while both groups could synchronize, HCs performed better overall, especially at certain tempos.
  • Results indicated that PwPMS had the best synchronization at slightly slower tempos and that cognitive and motor skills influence their ability to maintain consistent synchronization.
