Human movements are known to synchronize with rhythmic patterns in music. This study expands our understanding of embodied music perception, by revealing that spontaneous eye blinks also align with mu...

Explaining the origins of language is a key challenge in understanding ourselves as a species. We present an empirical framework that draws on synergies across fields to facilitate robust studies of l...
