News Finding: However the musiciansaEUR(tm) brain waves buzzed in synchrony to music as slow as 0.7 notes per second.
Paper Finding: These findings could suggest a lower limit of the oscillatory mechanism, in which the cortical response is constrained by the inherent temporal structure within the neural architecture.
News Context: They found that the brain wave rhythms of nonmusicians didnaEUR(tm)t entrain to music with a tempo less than one note per second, or what would be considered slow music. However the musiciansaEUR(tm) brain waves buzzed in synchrony to music as slow as 0.7 notes per second. aEURoeIt looks like musicians can take longer, more drawn out musical phrases and group them into a pattern of some kind,aEUR says Poeppel, aEURoethe response to what some people perceive as just a series of beeps and blips turns on much more sharply in musicians.aEUR
  
  Dr. Devin McAuley, a professor of cognitive science at Michigan State University who wasnaEUR(tm)t involved with the study says, aEURoeThese are exciting findings that fit into a broader body of work.
Paper Context: We found that neural tracking was stronger above 1 nps than below [experiment 1, t (14) = 2.15, P < 0.05; experiment 2, t (11) = 4.2, P < 0.005]. These findings could suggest a lower limit of the oscillatory mechanism, in which the cortical response is constrained by the inherent temporal structure within the neural architecture. 3C shows the entrainment of the musicians to the same stimuli used in experiment 2.
