DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nTo attend in person\, register here\n\nTo watch via Vimeo

 bstract: Benjamin Morillon will depict the neural dynamics underlying musi
 c perception and speech comprehension\, emphasizing time scales and adapti
 ve processes. First\, he will explore why humans spontaneously dance to mu
 sic\, presenting behavioral and neuroimaging evidence that motor dynamics 
 reflect predictive timing during music listening. While auditory regions t
 rack the rhythm of melodies\, intrinsic neural dynamics at delta (1.4 Hz) 
 and beta (20-30 Hz) frequencies in the dorsal auditory pathways encode the
  wanting-to-move experience\, or 'groove.' These neural dynamics are organ
 ized along the pathway in a spectral gradient\, with the left sensorimotor
  cortex coordinating groove-related delta and beta activity. Predictions f
 rom a neurodynamic model suggest that spontaneous motor engagement during 
 music listening arises from predictive timing\, driven by interactions of 
 neural dynamics along the dorsal auditory pathway. Second\, to investigate
  speech comprehension\, a framework was developed utilizing the concept of
  channel capacity. This approach examines the influence of various acousti
 c and linguistic features on the comprehension of compressed speech. Resul
 ts demonstrate that comprehension is independently affected by each featur
 e\, with varying degrees of impact and a clear dominance of the syllabic r
 ate. Complementing this framework\, human intracranial recordings reveal h
 ow neural dynamics in the auditory cortex adapt to different acoustic feat
 ures\, facilitating parallel processing of speech at syllabic and phonemic
  time scales. These findings underscore the dynamic adaptation of neural p
 rocesses to temporal characteristics in speech and music\, enhancing our u
 nderstanding of language and music perception.\n
