From Mind Perception to Mental Connection: Synchrony as a Mechanism for Social Understanding (2012, background): “The resultant neuronal synchrony causes the ‘communicative windows’ of these areas to align, allowing for more mutually influential and effective communication (Fries, 2005; Patel, 2006).”
What is Entrainment? Definition and applications in musical research (2012, background): “The notion that this is exclusive to humans has been challenged by Patel: exploring his hypothesis that beat perception is linked to vocal learning (2006), studies appear to show that a cockatoo is able to synchronise its movements with a musical stimulus, if intermittently (Patel et al.”

Joint Drumming in Brazilian and German Preschool Children (2014, background): “Patel (2006) was the first to suggest that the human capacity for synchronizing movement to sound is basically a learned behavior, a cultural convention, only exploiting cognitive skills that originally evolved for other, nonmusical purposes (e.g., auditory scene analysis, motor pattern generation,…”
