Hunting for the beat in the body: on period and phase locking in music-induced movement.

2014

Music has the capacity to induce movement in humans. Such responses during music listening are usually spontaneous and range from tapping to full-body dancing. However, it is still unclear how humans embody musical structures to facilitate entrainment. This paper describes two experiments, one dealing with period locking to different metrical levels in full-body movement and its relationships to beat- and rhythm-related musical characteristics, and the other dealing with phase locking in the more constrained condition of sideways swaying motions. Expected in Experiment 1 was that music with clear and strong beat structures would facilitate more period-locked movement. Experiment 2 was assum…

Analyzing multidimensional movement interaction with generalized cross-wavelet transform

2021

Humans are able to synchronize with musical events whilst coordinating their movements with others. Interpersonal entrainment phenomena, such as dance, involve multiple body parts and movement directions. Along with being multidimensional, dance movement interaction is plurifrequential, since it can occur at different frequencies simultaneously. Moreover, it is prone to nonstationarity, due to, for instance, displacements around the dance floor. Various methodological approaches have been adopted for the study of human entrainment, but only spectrogram-based techniques allow for an integral analysis thereof. This article proposes an alternative approach based upon the cross-wavelet transfor…

Cochlear implant users move in time to the beat of drum music.

2015

Cochlear implant users show a profile of residual, yet poorly understood, musical abilities. An ability that has received little to no attention in this population is entrainment to a musical beat. We show for the first time that a heterogeneous group of cochlear implant users is able to find the beat and move their bodies in time to Latin Merengue music, especially when the music is presented in unpitched drum tones. These findings not only reveal a hidden capacity for feeling musical rhythm through the body in the deaf and hearing impaired population, but illuminate promising avenues for designing early childhood musical training that can engage implanted children in social musical activi…

Systematic, cognitive and historical approaches in musicology

1997

The aim of this paper is to discuss the relationship between systematic, cognitive and historical musicology. This will be done by outlining the historical and epistemological backgrounds, and comparing the methods and objects. It is argued that systematic and cognitive musicology have a common methodological background with a focus on the systematic way of conducting research. However, quite a lot of studies in cognitive musicology apply nonsystematic methods as well; even a historical approach to cognition is needed. The main tenet of this paper is that the backgrounds of cognitive and systematic musicology are sufficiently similar for a close and fruitful cooperation. However, because th…
