FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. and FISHKILL, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) celebrates 20 years of powering higher ed research, Gale, part of Cengage Group, and the American Society of Eighteenth Century Studies (ASECS) are releasing the impact report findings of how the five scholars of the Gale-ASECS Non-Residential Fellowship program used ECCO and Gale Digital Scholar Lab (the Lab) to advance their research.

Key Points: 
  • Last year, each fellow received $2,500 from Gale and were given access to the Lab, a cloud-based digital humanities (DH) tool and ECCO for a period of six months.
  • The goal of the fellowships is to help scholars expand the field of eighteenth-century studies for research or teaching, using DH methods to conduct their research.
  • Through a digital humanities intervention, Dr. Kozaczka sought to resolve the eighteenth-century legal disputes through the weight of data.
  • There is perhaps no better digital resource with which to assess the whole of British print culture in the eighteenth century."

We got the beat: How we perceive rhythm involves neurological processes that control movement

Retrieved on: 
Sunday, October 1, 2023

Whether or not you’re a musician, somehow you know intuitively when to speed up or slow down to stay in time.

Key Points: 
  • Whether or not you’re a musician, somehow you know intuitively when to speed up or slow down to stay in time.
  • A wide range of living and non-living systems show synchronization, the tendency to coordinate rhythmic activity across interconnected groups.
  • And as a scientist, I am fascinated by the processes in the mind and brain that allow us to interact so expertly and spontaneously with rhythm.

Rhythm and the brain

    • But it appears that even our ability to mentally follow and anticipate musical rhythms is tied up with the brain processes we use to move our bodies.
    • Using functional MRI, music neuroscientists have established that actively listening to rhythm activates the supplementary motor area of the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia in the deep brain, both of which are important for generating voluntary movements.
    • Anticipating and processing events in a rhythm may draw on the same brain mechanisms as anticipating and processing the sensory consequences of our own movements.

Causes of motor disorders

    • Drawing links between motor control and rhythm perception may help us make sense of the underlying causes of neurological disorders that both affect rhythm perception and benefit from rhythm-focused therapies, including Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and stuttering.
    • Developmental stuttering (a stutter during speech that arises in early childhood) is associated with impairment in rhythm perception and weaker ability to tap in time with a metronome.

Rhythm and boundaries

    • I believe that how we sense rhythm blurs the boundaries between our internal and external worlds.
    • As we play music in a group, we literally lose ourselves in the rhythm: we no longer predict the timing of our own sounds separately from the mix, but instead predict the timing of all sounds based on the group’s rhythm as a whole.

Prediction and action

    • I suspect that the last ingredient is the tight relationship between prediction and action.
    • According to one exciting theory of the neural control of action, we move our bodies not by sending “commands” to them, but instead by predicting what we will experience when we move them.
    • A shared rhythmic experience is a fluid interplay between sound, external expectations, self-expectation and action.
