ALT On the left, a Papua New Guinean musician in ceremonial clothes is performing on the Kundu drum (a long hourglass-shaped wooden drum). In the background, members of the community are enjoying the show. On the right, in the background, are plots showing the results of computational analyses of the effects of different music-acoustical features on perceived music stability in several different communities. On the right, in the foreground, a young woman from PNG is wearing headphones and taking part in a music cognition experiment.

A new paper about how rhythmic structure affects tapping accuracy and temporal expectation. Participants tapped along with 91 highly syncopated rhythms, several in unusual time signatures. Some rhythms were performed well; some very poorly. doi.org/10.3758/s13414-023-0… (1/6)
In contradistinction to Povel and Essens' classic work, we find the edges of groups of cues are tapped with lower (not higher) probability. Instead, our findings show that taps to our unfamiliar and "difficult" rhythms are guided by rather crude and lossy heuristics. (6/6)
doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone… : This is the second article from our #musicscience field-research in Papua New Guinea and Sydney. We find that acoustical roughness is universally associated with musical consonance/dissonance (operationalized as “stability”). 1/11

In combination with the earlier article – the results show the relevance of specific universal and cultural mechanisms in mediating the effect of music on our emotions and feelings. 10/11
