The perception of temporal regularities in auditory rhythms is central to many human activities. In ensemble performance of music and dance, for example, the synchronization of movements and sounds is facilitated by the perception of a periodic beat. Electroencephalographic (EEG) studies measuring steady-state
evoked potentials (SSEPs; i.e., peaks at specific frequencies in the EEG power spectrum) provide evidence for neural entrainment to the beat even in rhythms where sounds do not occur on each beat. This suggests that beat-related SSEPs partially reflect endogenous processes that may play a role in predicting the timing of upcoming sounds. The current study tested this hypothesis by examining relations between SSEPs in an auditory beat perception task and
individual differences in temporal prediction in a sensorimotor synchronization task. SSEPs were measured in 15 individuals with various levels of musical training as they listened to two auditory rhythm patterns, one syncopated (tone onsets were not present on all beats) and the other unsyncopated (tones were present on all beats).
