a. Summary: The auditory cortex is shown through experiments to discriminate time characteristics of incoming rhythmic stimuli. Findings suggest that the auditory cortex contribute directly to synchronization of motor output in particular the connection between “thalamic projections shared with supplementary motor area, as observed in musicians tapping different rhythms.” Also suggested that local sensory memory retains audio information for approx. 10s and is sensitive “of at least 2% in the 2Hz rhythmicity.”

a. Summary: Historical references from the 1970’s discussing spontaneous generation of music. Expresses criticism for biomouse and EEG methods to create music. Describes SQUID (superconducting quantum interference devices) as able to detect localized neuromagnetic fields as promising. {Squid’s seem to be an arrayed version our the NSI electrode}
