We try to answer these questions by applying an experimental protocol designed for that end. The musical rhythms used in the experiment are drawn from the musical and religious traditions of the xangô african-brazilian cult, as they are practiced in Ol…
Neural Responses to Musical Rhythm in Chinese Children With Reading Difficulties

The perception of the musical rhythm has been suggested as one of the predicting factors for reading abilities. Several studies have demonstrated that children with reading difficulties (RD) show reduced neural sensitivity in musical rhythm perception. Despite this prior evidence, the association between music and reading in Chinese is still controversial. In the present study, we sought to answer the question of whether the musical rhythm perception of Chinese children with RD is intact or not, providing further clues on how reading and music might be interlinked across languages. Oddball paradigm was adapted for testing the difference of musical rhythm perception, including predictable an…
