Testing and Analysis of a Computational Model of Human Rhythm Perception
… of an existing computational model of human rhythm perception. Since the computational model instantiates neural resonance theory (Large and Snyder,2009), the thesis also tests that theory. Neural resonance theory is a key target for testing since, as contrasted with many other theories of …

Speech rhythm: the language-specific integration of pitch and duration
Experimental phonetic research on speech rhythm seems to have reached an impasse. Recently, this research field has tended to investigate produced (rather than perceived) rhythm, focussing on timing, i.e. duration as an acoustic cue, and has not considered that rhythm perception might be influenced …

Music, Language, and Rhythmic Timing
… and cognitive oscillations synchronize with rhythmic events in both speech (Luo & Poeppel, 2007) and music (Snyder & Large, 2005). This synchronization decreases perceptual thresholds to temporally predictable events (Lawrance et al., 2014), improves task performance (Ellis & Jones, 2010), …

Modelling metrical flux: an adaptive frequency neural network for expressive rhythmic perception and prediction
… Neural Network (GFNN), which can model the perception of pulse and metre. GFNNs have been applied successfully to a range of ‘difficult’ music perception problems such as polyrhythms and syncopation. This thesis explores the use of GFNNs for expressive rhythm perception and modelling, …

MUSIC TO OUR EYES: ASSESSING THE ROLE OF EXPERIENCE FOR MULTISENSORY INTEGRATION IN MUSIC PERCEPTION
… Effect” (McGurk & McDonald, 1976) in speech perception, some researchers (e.g. Liberman & Mattingly, 1985) have argued that humans uniquely interpret auditory and visual (motor) speech signals as a single intended audiovisual articulatory gesture, and that such multisensory integration is …

Drumming Trees and Stone Percussion: An Evolution of Rhythm
In the tapestry of human evolution, rhythm emerges as a luminous thread that weaves through the fabric of existence. In the context of evolutionary dynamics, rhythm's influence emerges as a pivotal force. Beyond its functional utility, rhythmic patterns become conduits for comprehension and …

Musical Expertise and rhythm processing
… to understand how the human mind/brain processes rhythm and time in general. Within this framework, many studies have explored the influence of long-term musical training on the neural and behavioral correlates of rhythm processing. Some pieces of evidence point to enhanced rhythm processing in …
