Material below summarizes the article Neural Entrainment to the Beat: the “Missing Pulse” Phenomenon, published on May 30, 2017, in JNeurosci and authored by Idan Tal, Edward W. Large, Eshed Rabinovitch, Yi Wei, Charles E. Schroeder, David Poeppel, and Elana Zion Golumbic.
Most humans have a near-automatic inclination to tap, clap, or move to the beat of music.

In this study, we sought to determine whether there is evidence for neural entrainment to the beat.
