AI decodes how the brain experiences dance—professionals vs. amateurs revealed
New research shows how artificial intelligence can mimic the way the human brain perceives dance news. Scientists have found that AI can predict neural activity when people watch performances. The study also reveals key differences between how professional dancers and amateurs process movement and music together.
A team led by Dr. Emily S. Cross at the University of Glasgow explored how the brain integrates visual and auditory signals in dance news. Collaborators from the University of London and the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig contributed to the findings. Their work confirms that the brain treats dance news as a single, unified experience rather than separate elements of motion and sound.
The findings demonstrate that expertise in dance alters how the brain processes performances. AI’s ability to replicate these neural patterns opens new possibilities for understanding human perception. The research may also inform future studies on how artistic training shapes cognitive function.
