This registered report aims at capturing direct neuroscientific evidence for the rhythmic, movement-related shaping of auditory information with a cross-cultural perspective. Specifically, West/Central African- and Western-enculturated individuals are tested in two distinct studies, to demonstrate the culture-driven neural plasticity in human rhythm processing, and how it is shaped by the pace of rhythmic body movement. Electroencephalography (EEG) and hand clapping are recorded in separate sessions in response to an auditory rhythm derived from West/Central African music repertoire. These recordings are conducted both before and after a body movement session where participants will engage in stepping and clapping to the rhythm following a specific metre (three- vs. four-beat metre). Data collection is ongoing, but we predict that the behavioural and neural representation of metre in the pre-movement session will be distinct in the African vs. Western-enculturated participant groups. Moreover, the representation of metre conveyed by prior movement will be selectively sharpened in the neural and behavioural responses obtained during the post-movement session. This movement effect is expected to be more pronounced for the metrical interpretation that is predominant according to the participant’s musical culture. Collectively, these findings are expected to elucidate how prior experience, shaped by long-term cultural background and short-term motor practice, imprint onto rhythm processing in humans.Show less >
