abstract = {Temporal regularities present in our environment allow us not only to synchronize
our movements to an external rhythm but also to generate temporal expectations about
when a relevant event is going to occur (Nobre, Correa, & Coull, 2007). This
synchronization, known as rhythmic entrainment, results in behavioural benefits in
response to the events matching the temporal structure of the sequences, such as an
enhancement of the reaction times (RT; Correa & Nobre, 2008; Sanabria, Capizzi, &
Correa, 2011; Sanabria & Correa, 2013), time judgment (Barnes & Jones, 2000) or pitch
judgment accuracy (Jones, Moynihan, McKenzie, & Puente, 2002). While several
studies have suggested that this process is independent of top-down attention
(Rohenkohl, Coull, & Nobre, 2011; Triviño et al., 2011; Correa et al., 2014), to our
knowledge, only two of them have focused directly on the role of attention in the
rhythmic entrainment, showing contradictory results (De la Rosa, Sanabria, Capizzi, &
Correa, 2012; Schwartze, Rothermich, Schmidt-Kassow, & Kotz, 2011).
The aim of the present thesis is to investigate whether top-down attentional
processes are involved in the rhythmic entrainment and, moreover, to account for the
role of the rhythmic entrainment as a basic process in a general predictive system. De la
Rosa and colleagues (De la Rosa, Sanabria, Capizzi, & Correa, 2012) conducted an
experiment under the dual-task paradigm in order to study the resistance of rhythmic
entrainment to the concurrent performance of a secondary working memory task.
According to the dual-task paradigm, the inclusion of a secondary would result in an
impairment of performance in the primary task if both tasks compete for common
limited resources (Logan, 1978, 1979).},
