Musical rhythm constitutes the sum of multiple constituent behavioral and neural features.
A comparative multi-component view on rhythm in music, speech, and animal communication reveals similarities and differences and may be key to understanding rhythm evolution.
Rhythm production and perception may be anchored in social synchronization across domains and species.
A wider comparative perspective, which incorporates insights from not only primates and birds but also cetaceans, pinnipeds, amphibians, and insects, can inform our understanding of rhythm evolution.
Behavioral and brain rhythms in the millisecond-to-second range are central in human music, speech, and movement. A comparative approach can further our understanding of the evolution of rhythm processing by identifying behavioral and neural similarities and differences across cognitive domains and across animal species. We provide an overview of research into rhythm cognition in music, speech, and animal communication. Rhythm has received considerable attention within each individual field, but to date, little integration. This review article on rhythm processing incorporates and extends existing ideas on temporal processing in speech and music and offers suggestions about the neural, biological, and evolutionary bases of human abilities in these domains.
