[Neurophysiologic correlates in rhythm perception: early auditory evoked potential responses as indicators of a...

The results of this experimental study on human subjects indicate that the "far-field recorded auditory evoked wave VI potential" is correlated with auditory information processing of "rhythms" ("rhythm recognition", "rhythm experience"). Topography and functional mechanisms of a "neuronal system for rhythm detection" which is a prerequisite of "rhythmic experience" are discussed. The results cannot be interpreted as motor or attention effects.
