A well-trained athlete sprinting 100 yards performs a highly stereotyped, repetitive motor pattern. Neuroscientists understand that these rhythmic motor programs, such as walking, swimming and running ...

At its most fundamental level, a rhythmic pattern is the scaffolding upon which a musical composition rests. It manifests as a deliberate series of beats, accents, rests, and relative durations that ...

Whether the treatment of rhythmic and periodic electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest improves outcomes is uncertain. We conducted an open-label trial of ...

A recent study published in the Annals of Neurosciences suggests that practicing a specific type of sound-based meditation ...

The neural control of rhythmic arm and leg movements encompasses the integration of central and peripheral pathways that coordinate locomotion and complex motor tasks. These processes involve both ...

Long before infants can clap their hands or bounce to a beat, they already show signs of understanding rhythm. A fresh scientific investigation demonstrates that newborns only a few days old can ...

A new study saying bumblebees can recognize rhythmic patterns puts them alongside Ronan the sea lion, the first non-human mammal shown to keep a beat.

Humans are creatures of rhythms. As far as we know, humans have always sung and always danced. We can recognise a song by its rhythm alone, regardless of whether it is played fast or slow. We seem to ...

An international team of researchers has found it likely that bipedal dinosaurs swung their tails as they walked and ran to maintain their balance. In their paper published in the journal Science ...
