各种文化中的语音和音乐各异，但是近期研究发现语音与音乐也存在许多跨语言的一致性，其中包括语音和音乐的基本听觉节奏。本次报告将讨论语音、音乐节奏是否反映了大脑的固有节律。在综述前期研究的基础之上重点报告两项研究。一项研究涉及比较语音、音乐节奏与哭、笑等本能声音节奏的关系；另一项研究是探测语音和音乐的节奏是否能够在简单的感知运动同步实验中自发涌现。

Conscious awareness requires establishing coherent perceptual representations of basic sensory features. Yet, whether consciousness is necessary for initiating the integration of basic sensory features remains unclear. Competing theories implicate distinct functional regimes of consciousness in the process of feature binding and creating conscious percepts. We used a novel multi-feature oddball paradigm with intracranial stereo-electroencephalography (sEEG) recordings in awake and anesthetized states to investigate the functional boundary of conscious awareness. In the awake state, the auditory attributes of loudness and tone, as well as the binding of the two features, were automatically encoded without attention to the stimulus. Moreover, anesthetically influenced cortical processes after stimulus offset. The results reveal the borderline of experience of conscious awareness constrains the feedforward and recurrent process directly at local rather than global level computations.
