A study in Nature Communications examines the relationship between musical rhythm skills and developmental speech-language disorders. The findings indicate that rhythm abilities may serve as a factor in the early identification of these disorders in children. go.nature.com/3WyI95Q 🧪

Fig. 1: All cohorts utilized in the present study are illustrated (left), with details about which rhythm traits were available within each cohort (center), spanning the following: self-reported rhythm abilities, rhythm perception (e.g., rhythm discrimination), rhythm production or synchronization (e.g., beat synchronization), and genetic predispositions for rhythm abilities (i.e., polygenic scores).

That’s a really good point about concert prices. I still love buying new albums if they’re released on cassette but streaming still feels so unavoidable. Would be nice to see artists getting more (fair) streaming revenue too

Jordan Elias @jordanelias.bsky.social · Aug 16

With the Spotify ceo investing in ai drone warfare, what alternatives are people using to listen to music? I’ve just heard of qobuz, has anyone used it and what’s your experience?

Autistic people aren’t unaware of social cues. We’re often hyper aware. We just value directness over performance.

There’s a misconception that autistic people lack empathy or don’t understand social interaction. The reality is far more complex.
