متن کاملEffects of pitch and timing expectancy on musical emotion
Pitch and timing information work hand in hand to create a coherent piece of music; but what happens when this information goes against the norm? Relationships between musical expectancy and emotional responses were investigated in a study conducted with 40 participants: 20 musicians and 20 non-musicians.

متن کاملIntonational schemas, perceived grouping, and distortions of perceived duration
Perception of duration is known to be affected by a variety of contextual factors, including pitch. It has also long been observed that rhythmic grouping can affect perceived duration such that intervals between perceived groups are inflated in perception. Pitch and timing cues both play key roles in prosodic grouping. This paper explores the hypothesis that certain pitch-based distortions of t...
