Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.



Comparative analysis of brain activation in trained musicians during attentive motionless listening of regular and irregular rhythmic patterns

ABSTRACT: Professional musicians have learned to perceive music using different strategies; one of them is rhythmic grouping, commonly referred as rhythmic perception. Specifically, most studies suggest that perception of regular rhythmic patterns in musicians favors a specialization of the left hemisphere. This paper suggests that the use of irregular rhythmic sequences favour an activation of different brain areas from those observed in previous studies during perception of regular rhythmic sequences.
