Frontiers | Neurobiological foundations of neurologic music therapy: rhythmic entrainment and the motor system
2Department of Neurology, University of Colorado Health, Fort Collins, CO, USA 3SRH Neurorehabilitation Hospital Bad Wimpfen, Bad Wimpfen, Germany Entrainment is defined by a temporal locking process in which one system’s motion or signal frequency entrains the frequency of another system. This process is a universal phenomenon that can be observed in physical (e.g., pendulum clocks) and biological systems (e.g., fire flies). However, entrainment can also be observed between human sensory and motor systems. The function of rhythmic entrainment in rehabilitative training and learning was est...
