Music is not only art. It is also biology. The unique characteristics of the brain which make it possible for us to sing a melody and to dance, give to music the unparalleled ability not only to stimulate body movement, but also to move us emotionally. Music is not only beautiful, it is who we are. …

Current models of brain function indicate that sensory input is not only processed in two anatomically and functionally separate pathways, but that perception is the product of a predicting brain and not purely a representation of the input to which it has access. Sensory modalities are furthermore intertwined, …

Three topics are discussed: audiomotor transformations in music, the aural perception of music, and procedural learning and music syntax. Biologically, the ability to make music and enjoy it is based on the innate capacities for beat induction and relative pitch (recognition of melodic contour). The …

The transformation of music into movement takes place while dancing, singing, and playing an instrument. The human capacity for beat induction facilitates rhythmic movement to the musical beat, a capacity share with only a few animals. While Parkinson patients are limited in their locomotive abilities, …

This article illustrates the ‘visual turn’ approach to sports history in an analysis of traditionally under-researched material from the late nineteenth century. Focusing on football (‘soccer’) action photography, we argue that interpreting this visual material contributes significantly to the exploration …

Parkinson’s disease is characterized not only by bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor, but also by impairments of expressive and receptive linguistic prosody. The facilitating effect of music with a salient beat on patients’ gait suggests that it might have a similar effect on vocal behavior, however it …

The historically developed practice of learning to play a music instrument from notes instead of by imitation or improvisation makes it possible to contrast two types of skilled musicians characterized not only by dissimilar performance practices, but also disparate methods of audiomotor learning. In …
