Chord spacing and quality: Lessons from timbre research
Kahrs, Noah; Chiu, Matt ( 2021-12-16 )Although chords are often represented by pitch-class (chroma) content in computational research, chord spacing is often a more salient feature. This paper addresses this disparity between models and cognition by extending ... -
Coda: Charting Future Directions of Music Cognition in turbulent times
Albrecht, Joshua ( 2021-12-16 )The Future Directions of Music Cognition conference and speaker series incorporated hundreds of scholars presenting their research and dialoguing about what future directions the field of music cognition may take. This ... -
A comparison of presence and emotion between immersive virtual reality and desktop displays for musical multimedia
Al Alam, Thery; Dibben, Nicola ( 2021-12-16 )Visual and auditory immersion influence sense of presence, and in some cases emotional response. However, these have previously been tested separately and it is unknown whether and how immersion influences experiences ... -
Computational models of temporal expectations
Fink, Lauren K. ( 2021-12-16 )With Western, tonal music, the expectedness of any given note or chord can be estimated using various methodologies, from perceptual distance to information content. However, in the realm of rhythm and meter, the same sort ... -
Cortical representations of auditory perception using graph independent component analysis on EEG
Sankhe, Pranav; Madan, Ritik ( 2021-12-16 )Recent studies indicate that the neurons involved in a cognitive task aren't locally limited but span out to multiple human brain regions. We obtain network components and their locations for the task of listening to music. ... -
Deployments of change and novelty in a corpus of popular music
White, Christopher Wm. ( 2021-12-16 )This paper considers aspects of form and texture in 20th-century American popular music using a corpus of textural/lyrical/vocal annotations added to the McGill-Billboard corpus (Burgoyne, 2012). The analysis tracks two ... -
Does cognitive load differ among sight-singers? An exploratory study using pupillometry and interviews
Pomerleau-Turcotte, Justine; Moreno Sala, Maria Teresa; Dubé, Francis; Vachon, François ( 2021-12-16 )Sight-singing is challenging for many music students, yet they can experience various difficulties with this task. To explore how cognitive load (CL) might differ among students, we combined two approaches: 1) a quantitative ... -
Does Gestalt hearing exist?
Chenette, Timothy; Phillips, Alexandra; Wood, Emily ( 2021-12-16 )Karpinski 2000 describes "Gestalt hearing," identifying chords instantly and holistically, as the ideal endpoint of training in harmonic dictation. Yet the subdominant chord (e.g.) is not a single object but a collection ... -
Dropping the bass: The relationship between heart rate and expectation in electronic dance music (A preliminary report)
Chen, Emily; Yohannes, Ellena; Burgess, Samantha; Shanahan, Daniel ( 2021-12-16 )The relationship between musical expectation and physiological stress has been examined with increasing frequency in recent years (Huron, 2006; Tarr, et al. 2016). Stress induced from either an unexpected musical event can ... -
The effect of gesture on the perception of linearity in instrumental music
Gardner, Samuel; Berezina-Blackburn, Vita; Shanahan, Daniel ( 2021-12-16 )Given that music performances are made up of gestures, we might ask how the movements of an individual can alter how one perceives music. To address this question, this paper examines a hypothesis concerning the gestural ... -
Effect of metrical primes on perceived complexity of 2:3 and 3:4 polyrhythms
Lookenbill, Zachary; VanHandel, Leigh ( 2021-12-16 )Previous empirical studies concerning the perception of polyrhythms have isolated the rhythms from a metrical context to observe the meter associated with each rhythm. These studies show the important effect pitch and tempo ... -
Evaluating Tenney's critical band using a computational model of the human cochlea
Fakhrtabatabaie, Ashkan; Jennings, Skyler G. ( 2021-12-16 )To understand and formalize the perceptual outcomes produced by certain orchestration techniques, researchers studying the psychology of timbre rely largely on combining the listeners perception reports with audio analysis ... -
Find your groove: a pilot study on the influences of beat salience and social connectedness on groove perception
Percival, Hannah ( 2021-12-16 )Is beat salience an accurate way to measure groove? Does personal identification with the music affect groove ratings? Weigl (2016) lists 24 17-second clips from Rock/Pop/Electronic Dance Music genres in categories of high, ... -
Form and intertextuality in movie music videos
Ferguson, Brent ( 2021-12-16 )This paper addresses a phenomenon I call the Movie Music Video (MMV henceforth). A MMV is a music video for a soundtrack song displaying intertextual relationships with its corresponding film, such as intercutting clips ... -

Hearing, seeing, liking: The effects of audio-visual listening conditions on perceptual ratings
Lopez, Gerardo; VanHandel, Leigh ( 2021-12-16 )This study investigates whether listening to an excerpt of music in audio-only or audio-video contexts affects perceptual ratings, and what the relationship of the context presentation is to perceptual ratings. Participants ... -
How should corpus studies of harmony in popular music handle the minor tonic?
de Clercq, Trevor ( 2021-12-16 )Corpus studies of harmony in popular music normally assume a singular tonic pitch assigned to scale-degree 1, which highlights similarities in chord organization between parallel keys. Recently, Nobile (2020) posits a ... -
Identifying Beatles songs from their chord progressions: New evidence of the effect of specialized harmonic familiarity, melodic cues, and transposition on the identification of songs from chord progressions
Kuusi, Tuire; Jimenez, Ivan; Schulkind, Matthew D. ( 2021-12-16 )Listener and musical factors influence the identification of songs from chord progressions. Having played and being able to write out the chords of the target song from long-term memory (hereafter, specialized harmonic ... -
Implications of thematic reuse in Haydn's sonata forms
Miyake, Jan ( 2021-12-16 )Haydn's approach to form is underserved by current theories as discussed by Burstein (2016), Duncan (2011), Fillion (2012), Korstvedt (2013), Ludwig (2012), Neuwirth (2011, 2013), and Riley (2015). Comparing Haydn to ... -
Information specification during singing: A theoretical approach to music performance
Delasanta, Lana J. ( 2021-12-16 )Self-organized systems emphasize Gibson's (1966) proposal that organisms and the environment are one coupled system. As a result, energy flow throughout the system allows its subsystems to utilize it in a meaningful way. ...
