Differences in metrical entrainment and replication research with Sylvie Nozaradan and cohost Sarah Sauvé

Postdoctoral fellow Sarah Sauvé recommends “Individual differences in rhythmic cortical entrainment correlate with predictive behavior in sensorimotor synchronization” by Sylvie Nozaradan, Isabelle Peretz, and Peter E. Keller, published in Nature Scientific Reports in 2016. Sarah and Finn interview Dr. Nozaradan about the measures of metrical perception and rhythm production, entrainment to difficult stimuli, and what these results imply for a replication study conducted with older participants.

Biography

Sarah Sauvé is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cognitive Aging and Auditory Neuroscience Lab led by Dr. Benjamin Zendel at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Her research will extend knowledge of music perception to older listeners, a population we know very little about in the field. Sauvé has recently graduated with a PhD from Queen Mary University, working under the supervision of Dr. Marcus Pearce in the Music Cognition Lab and Dr. Elaine Chew in the Music Performance and Expression Lab (MuPaE). Her research focused on expectation in auditory streaming, working with the IDyOM computer model of musical expectation, and extends to themes of timbre perception, musical training and attention.
