Beyond words: How humans communicate through sound
Description
Every day we communicate using complex linguistic and musical systems, yet these modern systems are the product of a much more ancient relationship with sound. When we speak, we communicate not only with the words we choose, but also with the patterns of sound we create and the movements that cre...

Individual differences in rhythmic skills: Links with neural consistency and linguistic ability
Description
Durational patterns provide cues to linguistic structure, thus so variations in rhythm skills may have consequences for language development. Understanding individual differences in rhythm skills, therefore, could help explain variability in language abilities across the population. We investigat...

Variations on the theme of musical expertise: Cognitive and sensory processing in percussionists, vocalists and non-musicians
Description
Comparisons of musicians and non-musicians have revealed enhanced cognitive and sensory processing in musicians, with longitudinal studies suggesting these enhancements may be due in part to experience-based plasticity. Here, we investigate the impact of primary instrument on the musician signatu...

Got rhythm? Better inhibitory control is linked with more consistent drumming and enhanced neural tracking of the musical beat in adult percussionists and nonpercussionists
Description
Musical rhythm engages motor and reward circuitry that is important for cognitive control, and there is evidence for enhanced inhibitory control in musicians. We recently revealed an inhibitory control advantage in percussionists compared with vocalists, highlighting the potential importance of r...

Neurobiology of everyday communication: What have we learned from music?
Description
Sound is an invisible but powerful force that is central to everyday life. Studies in the neurobiology of everyday communication seek to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying sound processing, their stability, their plasticity, and their links to language abilities and disabilities. This sou...

Speech-in-noise perception is linked to rhythm production skills in adult percussionists and non-musicians
Description
Speech rhythms guide perception, especially in noise. We recently revealed that percussionists outperform non-musicians in speech-in-noise perception, with better speech-in-noise perception associated with better rhythm discrimination across a range of rhythmic expertise. Here, we consider rhythm...

Clapping in time parallels literacy and calls upon overlapping neural mechanisms in early readers
Description
The auditory system is extremely precise in processing the temporal information of perceptual events and using these cues to coordinate action. Synchronizing movement to a steady beat relies on this bidirectional connection between sensory and motor systems, and activates many of the auditory and...

How rhythmic skills relate and develop in school-age children
Description
Rhythmic expertise can be considered a multidimensional skill set, with clusters of distinct rhythmic abilities evident in young adults. In this article, we explore relationships in school-age children (ages 5-8 years) among 4 rhythmic tasks hypothesized to reflect different clusters of skills, n...

Title
Distinct rhythmic abilities align with phonological awareness and rapid naming in school-age children
Description
Difficulty in performing rhythmic tasks often co-occurs with literacy difficulties. Motivated by evidence showing that people can vary in their performance across different rhythmic tasks, we asked whether two rhythmic skills identified as distinct in school-age children and young adults would re...

Unreliable auditory processing in autism
Description
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a diverse neurodevelopmental condition that typically manifests as challenges with social-pragmatic language, theory of mind, and emotional understanding. Its prevalence has increased dramatically over the past decades; it is now estimated that one in 68 children...

Effects of background noise on cortical encoding of speech in autism spectrum disorders
Description
This study provides new evidence of deficient auditory cortical processing of speech in noise in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Speech-evoked responses (~100–300 ms) in quiet and background noise were evaluated in typically-developing (TD) children and children with ASD. ASD responses showed de...

Title
Brainstem transcription of speech is disrupted in children with autism spectrum disorders
Description
Language impairment is a hallmark of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The origin of the deficit is poorly understood although deficiencies in auditory processing have been detected in both perception and cortical encoding of speech sounds. Little is known about the processing and transcription of...
