Title:
Rhythm and the brain: the role of neural motor areas in rhythm and timing
Abstract:
Moving to musical rhythm is an instinctive, often involuntary activity, but how does the brain produce this behaviour? In this talk I will describe how perception of musical rhythms activates motor brain areas even when no overt movement is made. I will discuss brain stimulation studies that attempt to tease apart the role of particular motor areas, such as the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and premotor cortex, in rhythm perception. I will also consider behavioural and fMRI studies of individual differences in rhythmic ability, examining how motor and auditory activity relate to important behavioural components of rhythm ability.
