Subject: entrainment dynamics in auditory research and clinical measurements From: Matt Marble <hamletist@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2007 17:51:35 -0700 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY><html><div style=3D'background-color:'><P>Greetings, </P> <P>I am curious what studies there are concerning the role of r= hythmic entrainment in auditory science research and clinical practice. I= 'm aware of some studies involving children with autism, but wonderi= ng if it might extend elsewhere in the field and in a more fundamental wa= y? Specifically, for example, in regards to assessments of "hearing" (rec= eption, processing) ability as distinguished from "listening" (recep= tion, processing, USE)ability. </P> <P>It would seem to me that entrainment dynamics would offer a theoretica= l platform for yielding methods of measurement with less focus on th= e stimulus per se, and more focus, for example, on temporal series a= nd patterns derived from interactive dynamics (between com= municative persons, between the subject and a responsive stimulus). And t= hat... we might learn alot. </P> <P>Any thoughts, referrals?
