Mind-Body Rhythms and Well-being

This podcast based on a research review explores physiological entrainment, the synchronization of bodily rhythms with external rhythmic stimuli, focusing on its impact on cognitive, motor, and affective functioning. The authors examine theoretical models explaining entrainment mechanisms and discuss various measurement techniques used to assess it across different physiological systems (EEG, HRV, sensorimotor tasks). The review highlights entrainment's role in enhancing well-being and its potential applications in therapeutic interventions, particularly music-based therapies for neurological and psychological conditions. Finally, the paper addresses terminological inconsistencies in the literature and proposes a unified definition of physiological entrainment within the embodied cognition framework.
