    "abstract": "Theories of music perception argue over whether observed motor area activation during passive music listening actively contributes to perception or is the product of a distributed representation. There is a growing amount of evidence linking Alpha rhythms in the motor cortex to action inhibition and imagination during passive music listening. In this work, we examine Alpha band power modulation and its association to beat perception using a sensorimotor synchronization task and a natural music listening task with electroencephalography (EEG). We sought to find an association between Alpha band modulation over the primary motor cortex and beat tapping performance. We found that greater Alpha power correlated with worse tapping performance. These results may point to a negative association between motor inhibition and beat perception and a complementary positive association between movement imagination and beat perception and production. We address these findings in terms of the HAPEM theory proposed by Schubotz (2003). This framework suggests that motor activation reflects a predictive representation formed from audio-motor association cortices, lacking proprioceptive information which could be acquired through musical training.",
