> Through four experiments with 123 young nonmusicians, integrating eye-tracking, neurophysiological recordings, white matter structural imaging, and behavioral analysis, we reveal a previously unrecognized form of synchronization: spontaneous eye blinks synchronize with musical beats.
Now you’ve got me imagining a bizarre Ocean's Eleven parody where a "supe" crew uses music as a kind of rhythmic saccadic masking to hide their high-speed movements.
Tangentially related, I have roughly a dozen electronica-genre MP3 files in a "running playlist" on my phone, all of which are exactly 150 BPM so that I can naturally time my footfalls to the bass beat.
