Abstract
⸠Almost everyone, but beat deaf individuals, can feel the beat in music and move in time to it. ⸠Novel motion capture and psychophysical techniques can measure dance. ⸠Musical time has a distinct neurobiological origin from pitch. ⸠Beat deafness presents a new form of congenital amusia related to time and not to pitch. ⸠Beat deafness may unlock a key principle specific to the human genotype. ⸠Strict periodicity might be unique to music.
