| summary | Within the last decade several studies have shown that rhythmic, i.e. temporally regular presentation of events facilitates stimulus processing, particularly in the auditory domain. At the same time there is cumulating evidence that physical exercise improves various cognitive functions. In recent years, I aim to integrate these two lines of research by investigating how simultaneous motor activity influences stimulus processing dependent on stimulus timing. In this talk I will present results that emphasize the relevance of temporal regularity for stimulus processing not only for tonal but also for linguistic stimuli. Furthermore, I will show electrophysiological and behavioral data supporting the claim that simultaneous motor activity amplifies the effect of temporal regularity resulting in better attention allocation as well as memory performance. Finally, I will discuss the potential of auditory-motor synchronization for patients suffering from timing deficits such as patients with Parkinson Disease. |
