In our eye-tracking study, twenty-nine participants performed simple rhythm-tapping tasks, in which the relative complexity of consecutive rhythm symbols was systematically varied.

... and/or representation of rhythm. But the psychoacoustics literature suggests that pitch variation often impairs perception of temporal information. To examine the effect of melodicity on rhythm reproduction accuracy, we presented simple nine-note auditory rhythms to 100 college students, who attempted to reproduce...

... synchronization rhythm cross-cultural research In psychological research, the pleasurable desire to move to a beat is known as groove ( Janata, Tomic, & Haberman, 2012 ). Studies show that the sensation of groove is affected by rhythmic syncopation ( Matthews, Witek, Heggli, Penhune, & Vuust...

...Nathaniel Condit-Schultz T he normalized pairwise variability index (nPVI) is a measure originally used to compare the rhythms of languages.

... these nations in speech rhythm, and in accord with previous studies of instrumental music. Surprisingly, there was no evidence of this pattern, and some evidence of the opposite pattern: nPVI is higher in French and Italian vocal music than in English and German vocal music. This casts doubt on the theory...

...Andrea Ravignani Structure in musical rhythm can be measured using a number of analytical techniques. While some techniques—like circular statistics or grammar induction—rely on strong top-down assumptions, assumption-free techniques can only provide limited insights on higher-order rhythmic...

...Joseph R. Daniele; Aniruddh D. Patel Historical trends in the rhythm of Western European instrumental classical music between ∼1650 and 1950 have recently been studied using the nPVI equation. This equation measures the average degree of durational contrast between adjacent events in a sequence...

...Maria A. G. Witek; Eric F. Clarke; Morten L. Kringelbach; Peter Vuust In music, the rhythms of different instruments are often syncopated against each other to create tension. Existing perceptual theories of syncopation cannot adequately model such kinds of syncopation since they assume monophony...

...Erica Cao; Max Lotstein; Philip N. Johnson-Laird What determines the similarity of musical rhythms? According to the “family” theory, which this paper presents, one factor is the temporal sequence of the onsets of notes: rhythms with the same pattern of interonset intervals tend to sound similar...
