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), …

Rhythmic Layering: The Baladi Project
This thesis began with a program, the belly dance studio; the dance inspired the architecture through the translation of Arabic music into physical measurement as well as less tangible attributes that shaped the final design. There was an attempt to find a link between dance and architecture. Both …

Effects of Weikart's Sequential Approach to Rhythmic Movement on Development of Rhythmic Competency in Primary Age Children
… The purpose of this study was to compare the rhythmic competency of children receiving training using Weikart's Sequential Approach to Rhythmic Movement, and those receiving no training. Variables included gender and task alteration. Procedure. The sample consisted of 54 first graders. The …

Rhythmic Sensitivity and Developmental Language Disorder in Children
… made by differing levels of sensitivity to the rhythmic properties of language. Children with DLD have been shown to have reduced sensitivity to some of the acoustic cues present in speech which are thought to be important for rhythmic perception. Since rhythm forms the basis of language …

Rhythmic perception and entrainment in 5-year-old children
… auditory perceptual mechanisms then training in rhythmic activities, such as music, could lead to increased understanding of the rhythmic nature required to decode early language and literacy skills. Previous research investigating the relationship between the constructs of music perception and …

Dancing modernisms : rhythmic bodies articulating cultures of modernisms (1909-1929)
… science and technology lie at the base of this rhythmic movement paradigm, thereby revealing the paradoxes in such utopian responses to the dystopia of modernity. My aim with this thesis is to foreground how the rhythmic, moving body articulates the profundity of the cultural changes in the …

Spontaneous rhythmic contractions in the coarcted aorta of hypertensive rats
We examined the contractile behavior of isolated, arterial ring segments excised from Sprague-Dawley rats which had undergone a complete occlusion of the aorta between the origin of the renal arteries. Eight days post-occulsion, measurements in awake rats showed that arterial pressure in the …

The role of rhythmic factors in the perception of time
In the past, research into the perception of time and the perception of pattern have proceeded independently. In the present study, the effect of the patterning of stimuli on the perception of time is investigated, and a theory of time perception elaborated. An experiment designed to investigate …

Characterization of whip targeting kinematics in discrete and rhythmic tasks
… two distinct targeting tasks, discrete and rhythmic, was observed using the Qualisys 3D motion capture software. The objective was to investigate the kinematics of the whip, the kinematics of the subject's arm while controlling the whip and the differences between discrete and rhythmic …

Understanding the dynamics of rhythmic gene expression in mammalian cells
… loops. The core-clock mechanism also drives the rhythmic expression of downstream genes called clock-controlled genes, which are thought to be important for driving rhythmic biochemical and physiological processes. Mathematical models predict that for a gene to be rhythmically expressed, …

Bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing : rehabilitation metts music therapy
… of this study was to examine the effect of rhythmic auditory cueing on Bilateral Arm Training on movement accuracy and speed for survivors of stroke. Three participants underwent a six-week home training of drum playing in repetitive reaching movements, practicing for three hours a week. …

Music signal processing for automatic extraction of harmonic and rhythmic information
… problem of automatic extraction of harmonic and rhythmic information from music audio signals using statistical framework and advanced signal processing methods. Among different research directions, automatic extraction of chords and key has always been of a great interest to Music Information …

Mechanisms of ionic current changes underlying rhythmic activity recovery after decentralization
Neuronal networks capableof generating rhythmic output in the absence of patterned sensory or central inputs are widely represented in the nervous system where they support a variety of functions, from learning and memory to rhythmic motor activity such as breathing. To perfectly function in a …

Modeling projection neuron and neuromodulatory effects on a rhythmic neuronal network
Projection neurons shape the activity of many neural networks. In particular, neuromodulatory substances, which are often released by projection neurons, alter the cellular and/or synaptic properties within a target network. However, neural networks in turn influence projection neuron input via …

The Study and Application of Rhythmic Analysis for Wind Band Repertoire
… goal of this thesis is to inspire an interest in rhythmic analysis and an understanding of its tools and applications, particularly to the repertoire of the wind band. The content is divided into two sections. Part I deals with a general overview of the subject matter. It includes a review of …

The effects of rhythmic presentation of stimuli on item and source memory
… stimuli in a temporally consistent manner (i.e. rhythmic or structured timing) during a study task can increase accuracy in a subsequent recognition test, compared to arrhythmic or unstructured presentation timing. However, no research has been done on whether this benefit extends to source …
