Seeing in time: an investigation of entrainment and visual processing in toddlers

Abstract

Recent neurophysiological and behavioral studies have provided strong evidence of rhythmic entrainment in the perceptual level in adults. The present study examines if rhythmic auditory stimulation synchronized with visual stimuli and fast tempi could enhance the visual processing in toddlers. Two groups of participants with different musical experiences are recruited. A head-mounted camera will be used to investigate perceptual entrainment when participants perform visual search tasks.
