About this Research Topic
Despite the omnipresence of rhythm in music, movement, circadian cycles, and learning processes, this research topic will be the first volume to offer interdisciplinary approaches to the topic. Empirical research on timing and precision from the microbiological level of synapses to the macro level of elite solo and ensemble performances will be presented. The volume will provide results gained by the use of microscopes, motion capture systems, medical equipment such as imaging scans, as well as an artistic and educational experience.
The goal of this Research Topic is to present current, scientific studies that examine the ways in which rhythm affects human biology, behavior, perception, and art. Reciprocally, science can learn from studies conducted with artists about how they experience, express, and synchronize rhythms. We hope to attract international experts from kinesiology and sports, neurosciences, biology, psychology, music, and dance in order to encourage them to participate.
In particular, this article collection will encompass:
• Experiments that explore stress and recovery, biorhythms, synchronization of movement, and communication in ensemble performance;
• Studies with regard to rhythmic perception, coordination, and training;
• Practical examples involving both case studies and long-term surveys that evaluate the application of training methods and practice schedules with regard to education and health promotion programs;
• Submissions on rhythm-related research that is so innovative, that it doesn’t appear in the above list.
We welcome the following article types: Original Research, Systematic Review, Methods, Review, Mini Review, Case Report, Clinical Trial, Curriculum, Instruction, and Pedagogy
