Abstract in brief

  • Newborn infants have the ability to detect rhythmic beats in music, which may help explain how humans understand and learn music.
  • Research indicates that beat induction, the ability to detect a regular auditory pulse, is a key human trait linked to the development of music.
  • The study shows that even without clear cues, newborns form expectations for rhythmic downbeats, and when these are absent, it triggers brain activity that suggests they have innate beat perception abilities.

Ojalá todo el mundo viera ese vídeo, no porque apoyo lo de pasar 3 meses sin música, pero sí porque creo que vendría bien cuestionar nuestra relación actual con ella. Además, creo que se disfruta más de la música cuando hay un contraste con el silencio. https://t.co/ir7Nm4sfXp
