| summary | Coupling actions and movements to the rhythm of auditory stimuli is a
widespread ability which spans across societies and cultures. Auditory-
motor synchronization is particularly visible when we spontaneously or
deliberately move to the beat of music or to metrical speech (e.g., in
dance, synchronized sport, choral speech). Humans are particularly
well-endowed to move to rhythmic sequences, a skill which is likely to
be hard-wired and which is sustained by a dedicated neuronal network.
The first part of the talk will focus on the methods and measures
adopted for studying auditory-motor coupling with non-speech material
in healthy and patient populations (i.e., with Parkinson’s disease).
Moreover, an example will be given of the beneficial effects of
auditory-motor coupling on motor performance in patients with movement
disorders (auditory cueing techniques). The second part will extend
current knowledge/methods on auditory-motor coupling to the study of
speech in a communication setting. Indeed, whereas motor
synchronization is evident with auditory sequences having a stable and
predictable beat, this is less obvious in speech and communication.
Possible paradigms (e.g., synchronous speech, persistence-entrainment
effects, etc.) and potential avenues for using auditory-motor coupling
for the rehabilitation of speech disorders will be discussed. |
