Guess it's now a question of who (or what) can 'bop' to the beat better. Humans or rats?
indicates that rats possess the ability to move to music- a capability which, before now, was believed to be unique to humans.
Additionally, the team discovered that both rats and people jerked their heads to the beat at similar times, and that the amount of head jerking reduced the faster the music was played.While animals may react to sound, create rhythmic noises, or be trained to respond to music, these behaviors are not the same as the sophisticated brain and motor mechanisms that allow humans to instinctively detect the beat of a song, react to it, or even predict it. This trait is known as beat synchronicity.
Takahashi further disclosed that he is an expert in the field of electrophysiology, which examines the electrical activity of the brain, and has spent many years researching rats' auditory cortexes, which are the parts of the brain responsible for processing sound.
