At least 3 bonuses: Andy is an amazing supervisor + you’ll be working with the leading researchers in the field + it’s a very exciting research project with lots of opportunities along the way!

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. https://t.co/azPdQFcITI (1/6)

[Andrew Milne @andy_tonality]

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)

@elegantfowl Yes, semantics is one of several difficulties with this type of research.

[Andrew Milne @andy_tonality]

https://t.co/Y7IcAYRKkB : 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

@elegantfowl Thank you. Music is endlessly fascinating!

[Andrew Milne @andy_tonality]

@yudapearl @soboleffspaces @kareem_carr Nice! I think that probably answers my original question. (To be sure it does, I will need to study @soboleffspaces excellent table a bit more!)

[Andrew Milne @andy_tonality]

@noahkahrs @elineadrianne Thank you. The changes were not that substantive – a bit more care around the terminology of consonance/dissonance and stability/finishedness, and some more theoretical background related to universal versus cultural mechanisms. The peer reviews are available on the website.

A huge thank you to our research assistants, hosts, and organisers from Towet, Yawan, and other villages in the Uruwa River Valley, for your warm welcome and keeping us safe, and your enthusiastic engagement with the research. Irot orogo! 11/11

[Andrew Milne @andy_tonality]

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
