Q

What is RAS?

A
  • A technique developed upon using rhythmic cues to elicit purposed physiological responses.
  • Elicits physiological effects of auditory rhythm on the motor system to improve the control of movement in patients with significant deficits due to neurological impairments.

Q

What is our brain paying attention to when listening to music?

A

-Instead of paying attention to the beat, it pays attention to the space between each beat and taking a note of how much time is in between each beat.

Q

Principle of Entrainment:

  • Temporal ________ process in which one system’s motion or signal frequency entrains the frequency of another system.
  • _______ oscillator locks the _______ into its frequency, or if equal in strength the systems move towards each other.
A
  • locking

- stronger locks the weaker

  • Auditory system has richly distributed fiber connections to motor centers in spinal cord, brainstem, subcortical and cortical regions.
  • What are the (4) internal timekeepers?
  • What are external timekeepers?
  • What tract has many auditory pathways?
A
  1. ) Sensorimotor cortex, SMA
  2. ) Posterior inferior frontal gyrus (Broca’s)
  3. ) Cerebellum

Q

Time-Based Movement Optimization:

  • Rhythm provides precise __________ time cues for the brain to plan ahead and be ready.
  • Auditory stimulation primes the _______ system in a state of readiness to move. (increases response time and quality)
  • Modulates patterns of muscle activation and control of movement in space.
  • What is “patterned sensory enhancement”?
A
  • anticipatory
  • motor system
  • Using musical patterns to create functional movement patterns and sequencing to enhance direction and accuracy of movement.

Q

How should you format RAS into (3) phases?

A
