This month on Sound Science Podcast, we ask what happens between our ears in response to incoming rhythmic sensory inputs - in other words, how do we find the beat? Moving to the music that we hear is an intuitive behavior bestowed upon us before we can even walk. As we develop into adults, we start doing it on purpose. Some of us are quite good at it, while some of us would swear we have no sense of rhythm, but can rhythm be taught? For a small percentage of the population with a condition called “beat deafness” - the answer may be no and we explore why. On the flip side, drummers provide the timing and rhythmic foundation in a musical ensemble, we ask what it means to create rhythm in this way and look into how drum music, can be therapeutic in treating a number of neurological disorders, regardless of how well we move.
