The steady-state response of the cerebral cortex to the beat of music reflects both the comprehension of music and attention.

abstract：:Rhythmic skills are natural and widespread in the general population. The majority can track the beat of music and move along with it. These abilities are meaningful from a cognitive standpoint given their tight links with prominent motor and cognitive functions such as language and memory. When rhythmic skills are ch...
