Good Rhythm And Intelligence

Ring Tone Researchers at the medical university Karolinska Institutet and UmeĆ„ University of Sweden, demonstrated a correlation between general intelligence and the ability to tap out a simple regular rhythm. But the task subjects performed had nothing to do with any musical rhythmic sense but simply measured the capacity for rhythmic accuracy. The study also revealed a correlation between high intelligence, a good ability to keep time, and a high volume of white matter in the parts of the brain’s frontal lobes involved in problem solving, planning and managing time.
