Our latest preprint is now online! We compare visuomotor sequence learning with or without music over 4-weeks.

Despite both groups improving overtime, the music group showed increased surface area of A1 contralateral to the trained hand.

A 🧵 will follow upon publication 🤞

Why do some people move better with rhythm, while others don’t? In our new study, we investigated how cognitive and motor abilities shape how we sync movement to music or a metronome—especially under a cognitive dual task load.

Our article "Cognitive and motor abilities predict auditory-cued finger tapping in a dual task" has been accepted for publication @FrontNeurosci (making the 2nd chapter of my PhD).

I will write a thread telling you all about it upon its publication!
