TITLE:
Taking Time - apart: Beat-based Rhythm Processing & Non-Beat-based Predictions in the normal & the abnormal brain.
ABSTRACT:
Rhythm and timing are critical to music and speech, and the perception of rhythm and time is a most fascinating field to study to me. My research tackles mechanisms of perceptual timing, phenomenally and neurally, and in terms of their relevance. In my talk I will present an overview on my work on rhythm perception, integrating studies in neurological patients, healthy adults and children. I will first introduce the apparent distinction between beat-based and duration-based timing (patients, TMS, fMRI). From there, I move on to advocate a tight yoking between the two, by discussing their links to language skill during adolescent development, as well as observations from non-beat based predictive timing. As a finishing note coming back to beat-based prediction, I will present on-going work on the neural correlates in the EEG.
