Just-Noticeable Difference (JND) Thresholds of Microrhythm in Groove-based Music
Discover how microscopic rhythmic changes in musical timing influence how we hear a groove
What is the experiment about?
We're investigating the smallest differences in rhythm that people can detect in groove-based music with a steady beat. In this study, you will listen to sound clips and try to noticing subtle timing shifts. By participating, you'll help us understand the limits of human rhythm perception, and contribute to our knowledge of how precisely we perceive timing in music.
What does being a participant involve?
The project entails a variety of perceptual listening tests where you will hear several versions of a short musical groove, and be asked to different qualities about the rhythm and timing of the instruments. There will also be a short questionnaire about your musical experience. We will al
