Here we demonstrate that this disambiguation can also be accomplished by direct galvanic stimulation of the vestibular system. The galvanically induced sensation, without any actual movement, that the head moved from side to side on either every second or on every third beat of the ambiguous auditory rhythm pattern strongly biased whether adults perceived it as being in duple or in triple time. These results imply that the vestibular system plays a primal role in the perception of musical rhythm.

The poems, variously and collectively, take the pulse of the times, exploring at once the historical and contemporary, the political and the personal: “a testament to a historical moment in which change seemed possible… African and Caribbean nations newly liberated from the colonial yoke, various liberation struggles in Central America, the US civil rights and various anti-war movements….women’s rights….” 2 At the heart of Brand’s aesthetics in this collection is a careful attention to the development and response of the human being in the face of colonialism, racism and diaspora. Among Brand’s collection of dualisms‐historical-contemporary, political-personal, lies her continual illusion t...
