Bumblebees are incredibly smart. I mean, I'm sure they could do my job. Even though their brains are just the size of a sesame seed, bumblebees can do math, play soccer and recognize faces. Now ...

New Australian research shows bumblebees can learn and recognise rhythmic patterns across different tempos and even across senses. Humans are creatures of rhythms. As far as we know, humans have ...

New research shows that babies who can detect musical rhythms may also be better at recognizing speech patterns, a foundation for language learning. Scientists say rhythm processing is present from ...

Humans are creatures of rhythms. As far as we know, humans have always sung and always danced. We can recognise a song by its rhythm alone, regardless of whether it is played fast or slow. We seem to ...

Phonetic information -- the smallest sound elements of speech -- may not be the basis of language learning in babies as previously thought. Babies don't begin to process phonetic information reliably ...

Parents should speak to their babies using sing-song speech, like nursery rhymes, as soon as possible, say researchers. That's because babies learn languages from rhythmic information, not phonetic ...

It may contain inaccuracies due to the limitations of machine translation. A new study overturns the conventional wisdom that insects cannot perceive complex rhythms due to their small brains. Getty ...

A research team from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the Medical Center - University of Freiburg has gained new insights into the brain processes involved in encoding ...

A new study saying bumblebees can recognize rhythmic patterns puts them alongside Ronan the sea lion, the first non-human mammal shown to keep a beat. KUOW is Seattle’s NPR news station. We are an ...
