On this basis, we form four concrete hypotheses about the function of syncopation in groove, to be tested in future experiments.

...Sarah C. Creel What factors influence listeners’ perception of meter in a musical piece or a musical style? Many cues are available in the musical “surface,” i.e., the pattern of sounds physically present during listening. Models of meter processing focus on the musical surface. However, percepts...

..., or meter, and demands cognitive effort. 2) Microtiming promotes a “groove” experience—a pleasant sense of wanting to move along with the music. Using professional jazz musicians and nonmusicians as participants, we hypothesized that microtiming asynchronies between bass and drums (varying from −80 to 80 ms...

... ( Condit-Schultz, 2016 ). This raises the possibility of conflicting goals for multisyllable words between stress/meter congruence and the avoidance of masking. For example, consider the two-syllable word “moving.” Prioritizing stress/meter congruence predicts that the stressed syllable “mov-” is more...

One puppet’s drumming was synchronized with the beat of the music while the other had either incorrect tempo or incorrect phase, and children were asked to select...

If the beat is the relevant metrical unit, these three possibilities are: 1) a note starts on a beat and therefore reinforces...
