How Beat Perception Co-opts Motor Neurophysiology.

abstract：:A fundamental question of human episodic memory concerns the cognitive and neural representations and processes that give rise to the neural signals of memory. By integrating behavioral tests, formal computational models, and neural measures of brain activity patterns, recent studies suggest that memory signals not on...

At their extremes, proximal threats are addressed by a limited repertoire of reflexive and myopic actions, reflecting reduced de...
