Yesterday we offered a workshop at the @timingresforum.bsky.social conference in Tokyo:

'Quantitative measures of #rhythm across disciplines: An overview and hands-on methodological approaches'

Thanks friends and colleagues: Marco Gamba, Yannick Jadoul, and Jelle van der Werff

Lesions in the cerebellum impact cross-modal temporal predictions
The cerebellum (CE) supports the encoding of the precise sensory event timing and the generation of temporal predictions. Here we investigated whether focal CE lesions impact temporal predictions in a...

New pre-print: we show that L-Dopa and #DBS targeting the subthalamic nucleus have different effects on E/I balance and on the #neural encoding of #rhythmic auditory stimulation in #Parkinson's disease

L-Dopa and STN-DBS modulate E/I balance and the neural encoding of rhythmic auditory stimulation in Parkinson
Temporally regular auditory stimuli, such as metronome beats or music, are typically utilized in rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) to initiate and stabilize the precise temporal coordination of moto...

What happens when our stream of consciousness turns inward, towards the body? Our new fMRI study of 536 individuals finds that 'body-wandering' is associated with distinct patterns of brain connectivity, physiology, affect, and mental health:

Heightened Sensitivity to Voice Loudness Changes in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects voice and speech production, often resulting in reduced vocal intensity and monotonous speech. Recent studies have suggested that these changes can be partially explai...

Increased cortical #excitability (E/I balance), heightened sensory #sensitivity, but reduced phase-alignment of ongoing delta-band neural oscillatory activity in healthy aging as compared to young adults

We show impaired neural tuning #dynamics to an isochronous #rhythm in #stroke patients: lesions in the #basalganglia and #cerebellum increase variability in event-related response, reduce delta-band phase coherence and stability while synchronizing to temporal regularities
