Human Bodily Micromotion in Music Perception and Interaction Human Bodily Micromotion in Music Perception and Interaction Application to FRIPRO/IKTPLUSS Alexander Refsum Jensenius, University of Oslo 1 Relevance relative to the call for proposals This project seeks to investigate the close couplings between musical sound and human bodily micromotion. Micromotion is here used to describe the smallest displacements of human body parts, either voluntary or involuntary, typically at a speed smaller than 10 mm/s. The last decades have seen an increased focus on the role of the human body in both the performance and the perception of music (Gritten and King, 2006), and today it is difficult to imagine talking about the experience of music without also focusing on how music is experienced through the body (Godoy and Leman, 2010). Up to now, however, the micro-level of these experiences has received little attention. This project will investigate such music-related micromotion, with an aim of contributing to: • knowledge about how musical sound influences human motion at the micro-level. This will be based on literature studies, theoretical modelling, and a longitudinal observational study as well as three large-scale experiments of sound-motion relationships. • a large, annotated and metadata-rich database of the micromotion recordings mentioned above. The database will be central to the current project, and will also be made available for future research in the field. • conceptual models and software tools for using micromotion to control musical sound in computer-based systems. Such musical microinteraction can be used for music perfor- mance or production, or for \active listening". The project is: • at the research frontier of basic issues in cognitive musicology, embodied music cognition, music technology, and human-computer interaction. • truly interdisciplinary, bridging over between so-called \hard" and \soft" research ap- proaches, as well as between science and the arts. • innovative, with research outputs in the form of scientific publications, an open database, and open source software tools. I am already established as a leading, young researcher within the international music technology and music cognition communities, and this project will give me the possibility to set up my own research group and carry out a bold and novel project. Results from the project will feed directly into current trends in musicology and in music psychology/cognition, where more knowledge about the human body is of great importance for the further understanding of how humans produce, perform and perceive music. The conceptual models and software tools developed in the project may also have a wider impact. For example, my previous research on (more large-scale) music-related body motion has resulted in the development of software-tools for detecting cerebral palsy (CP) in young infants (Adde et al., 2010). If succesful, this project's ambition of using micromotion to control interactive systems may have a transformational impact on how we use tomorrow's technologies. 1 2 Aspects relating to the research project 2.1 Background and status of knowledge Try to sit still for a couple of minutes. What did you observe? Did you notice the small motion happening in various parts of your body? Did you notice the rhythmic patterns of your breathing, pulse and postural adjustments? Most such microactions are produced unin- tentionally and are so small that they are not easily observed by others. But the \invisibility" of such microactions does not mean that they do not affect us and those around us. I believe that nuance and expressivity in music to a great extent are conveyed and experienced through micromotion. The underlying premise for this project is built on the idea that bodily motion is integral to both the performance and the perception of music. While this may seem obvious, it is only in the last decades that music researchers have started to study music from an embodied perspective (Leman, 2008), and there are still many unanswered research questions. My own contributions to the field include a series of observational studies of people's spontaneous motion to music, including that of \air piano" performance, \sound tracing" and \free dance" to music (Jensenius, 2008). Based on these studies I have been able to present a more thorough classification scheme of music-related motion, including the four main types: sound-producing, sound-facilitating, sound-accompanying, and communicative (Jensenius et al., 2010). Alongside this theoretical development, I have also contributed with a set of video-based analysis methods and tools for studying music-related body motion systematically (Jensenius, 2013). Towards micromotion Having studied music-related motion for ten years, it has become clear to me that most research projects in the field are generally limited to actions that are large and intentional. Music performance is rife with examples of intentional, micro-level interaction, such as the minute actions found in the mouth of wind performers, or in the fingering of string players. But such micromotion has mainly been studied from a sound-producing and acoustic perspective rather than a perceptual one. Even studies of performer's unintentional motion, such as the \ancillary" motion of clarinetists (Wanderley et al., 2005), have primarily focused on medium to large-scale motion, rather than the micro-level. This is puzzling, given that it is well documented that the \invisibility" of micromotion is at the core of how we perceive others (Ekman and Friesen, 1969). So what if we dispense with all motion larger than, say, 10 mm/s? What are we dealing with then? Exploring standstill In 2012 I carried out a pilot study on music-related micromotion to- gether with dancer-choreographer Kari Anne Vadstensvik Bjerkestrand, in which we explored the act of standing still in silence for ten minutes at a time, what is sometimes referred to as a \human pendulum" (Collins and De Luca, 1994). The experience of standing consciously still for such a long time is overwhelming. Not only does one's own micromotion become apparent, such as swaying, shifting of weight, breathing and heart beats, but it is also easy to see and relate to other people's spontaneous micromotion (Jensenius and Bjerkestrand, 2012). Based on the findings in the pilot study, I continued the exploration of micromotion in the scientific-artistic research project Sverm,1 where two musicians, two dancer-choreographers and one scenographer were recruited. Here we employed the same observation strategy as tested earlier, standing still together on the floor for 10 minutes at a time (Figure1). Using a state-of-the-art motion capture system to quantify our motion, we found an average quantity of motion (QoM) of around 6.5 mm/s for a head marker of a person standing still (Jensenius et al., 2014). We also found that the QoM values remained remarkably linear over time for 1http://www.fourms.uio.no/projects/sverm/ 2 each person for each recording, and that they were also very consistent for each person across recording sessions. More careful analysis of the data revealed clear person-specific patterns in the data sets, such as seen in Figure2. Here we could identify (at least) three levels of periodic mo- tion: (a) quasi-random motion happening on a millisecond scale, probably caused by the ankles working to keep the body in balance (Loram and Lakie, 2002), (b) periodic mo- tion at intervals of approximately five to ten seconds corresponding to our respiratory pat- terns, (c) \spikes" every two to three min- utes that were presumably explained by pos- tural adjustments. All in all, the patterns that emerged from the recordings were not as Figure 1: Picture from a standstill session in random as we expected, but rather were indi- the Sverm project.

Towards music-related micromotion It is well known that musical sound can induce both motion and emotion in humans (Leman, 2008). One example is that of rhythmic entrainment, meaning that two or more independent rhythmic processes may synchronise with each other (Pikovsky et al., 2003). Such entrainment has been shown to exist at multiple levels in music performance (Clayton, 2005), most likely based on the experience of both the individual pulses and the metrical structure in the rhythm (Large, 2000). Similarly, studies of human walking have shown a preference for a frequency of two steps per second (2 Hz), independent of gender, age, height, weight, or body mass index (MacDougall, 2005). These findings coincide well with studies on the perception of musical rhythm, indicating a clear preference for musical tempi of two beats per second (120{125 bpm) (Moelants, 2002), and that the preferred tempo of dance music is a little faster (125{130 bpm) (Moelants, 2008). These studies, however, are based on voluntary and large-scale motion. Would we be able to find evidence of similar types of periodicities or entrainment in micromotion recordings of people standing still? To test this, I have conducted two informal experiments, each camouflaged under the head- ing \Norwegian Championship of Standstill," so as to recruit a large amount of people. For each of the experiments around 100 people stood still for six minutes, three minutes in silence and three minutes with music. Since these were only informal experiments we have not pub- lished the results, but the preliminary analysis does support, to some extent, the hypothesis that our involuntary micromotion will synchronise with musical features. However, controlled, full-scale experiments are needed to properly validate these findings, and to find out which musical features influence different types of micromotion.

  • Statistical Techniques in Music Psychology: an Update
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Goldsmiths Research Online Statistical techniques in music psychology: An update Daniel M¨ullensiefen 1 Introduction Music psychology as a discipline has its origins at the end of the 19th century and ever since then, empirical methods have been a core part in this field of research. While its experimental and analytical methods have mainly been related to methodology employed in general psychology, several statistical techniques have emerged over the course of the past century being specific for empirical research in music psychology. These core methods have been described in a few didactic and summarising publications at several stages of the discipline’s history (see e.g. Wundt, 1882; B¨ottcher & Kerner, 1978; Windsor, 2001, or Beran, 2004 for a very technical overview), and these publications have been valuable resources to students and researchers alike. In contrast to these texts with a rather didactical focus, the objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of a range of novel statistical techniques that have been employed in recent years in music psychology research.1 This overview will give enough insight into each technique as such. The interested reader will then have to turn to the original publications, to obtain a more in-depth knowledge of the details related to maths and the field of application. Empirical research into auditory perception and the psychology of music might have its beginnings in the opening of the psychological laboratory by Wilhelm Wundt in Leipzig in 1879 where experiments on human perception were conducted, and standards for empirical research and analysis were developed.

    The Psychology of Music Haverford College Psychology 303 Instructor: Marilyn Boltz Office: Sharpless 407 Contact Info: 610-896-1235 or [email protected] Office Hours: before class and by appointment Course Description Music is a human universal that has been found throughout history and across different cultures of the world. Why, then, is music so ubiquitous and what functions does it serve? The intent of this course is to examine this question from multiple psychological perspectives. Within a biological framework, it is useful to consider the evolutionary origins of music, its neural substrates, and the development of music processing. The field of cognitive psychology raises questions concerning the relationship between music and language, and music’s ability to communicate emotive meaning that may influence visual processing and body movement. From the perspectives of social and personality psychology, music can be argued to serve a number of social functions that, on a more individual level, contribute to a sense of self and identity. Lastly, musical behavior will be considered in a number of applied contexts that include consumer behavior, music therapy, and the medical environment. Prerequisites: Psychology 100, 200, and at least one advanced 200-level course. Biological Perspectives A. Evolutionary Origins of Music When did music evolve in the overall evolutionary scheme of events and why? Does music serve any adaptive purposes or is it, as some have argued, merely “auditory cheesecake”? What types of evidence allows us to make inferences about the origins of music?

ISSN: 1756-8757 print / 1756-8765 online DOI: 10.1111/j.1756-8765.2012.01216.x Cognitive Science and the Cultural Nature of Music Ian Cross Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge Received 5 September 2010; received in revised form 8 June 2012; accepted 8 June 2012 Abstract The vast majority of experimental studies of music to date have explored music in terms of the processes involved in the perception and cognition of complex sonic patterns that can elicit emotion. This paper argues that this conception of music is at odds both with recent Western musical scholar- ship and with ethnomusicological models, and that it presents a partial and culture-specific represen- tation of what may be a generic human capacity. It argues that the cognitive sciences must actively engage with the problems of exploring music as manifested and conceived in the broad spectrum of world cultures, not only to elucidate the diversity of music in mind but also to identify potential commonalities that could illuminate the relationships between music and other domains of thought and behavior. Keywords: Music; Learning; Processing; Ethnomusicology; Culture 1. The cognitive science and neuroscience of music The study of music learning and processing seems to present a rich set of complex chal- lenges in the auditory domain, drawing on psychoacoustic, perceptual, cognitive, and neuro- scientific approaches. Music appears to manifest itself as complex and time-ordered sequences of sonic events varying in pitch, loudness, and timbre that are capable of eliciting emotion.

    Music Psychology and Music Education: What’s the connection? By: Donald A. Hodges Hodges, D. (2003) Music education and music psychology: What‟s the connection? Research Studies in Music Education. 21, 31-44. Made available courtesy of SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD: http://rsm.sagepub.com/ ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document Abstract: Music psychology is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary study of the phenomenon of music. The multidisciplinary nature of the field is found in explorations of the anthropology of music, the sociology of music, the biology of music, the physics of music, the philosophy of music, and the psychology of music. Interdisciplinary aspects are found in such combinatorial studies as psychoacoustics (e.g., music perception), psychobiology (e.g., the effects of music on the immune system), or social psychology (e.g., the role of music in social relationships). The purpose of this article is to explore connections between music psychology and music education. Article: ‘What does music psychology have to do with music education?’ S poken in a harsh, accusatory tone (with several expletives deleted), this was the opening salvo in a job interview I once had. I am happy, many years later, to have the opportunity to respond to that question in a more thoughtful and thorough way than I originally did. Because this special issue of Research Studies in Music Education is directed toward graduate students in music education and their teachers, I will proceed on the assumption that most of the readers of this article are more familiar with music education than music psychology.

  • Neuromusical Research: an Overview of the Literature
    In: Neurosciences in Music Pedagogy ISBN: 978-1-60021-834-7 Editors: W. Gruhn and F. Rauscher, pp. 1-25 © 2007 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter I NEUROMUSICAL RESEARCH: AN OVERVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Richard D. Edwards and Donald A. Hodges ABSTRACT With growing interest in the neuroscience of music among both neuroscientists and music educators, the task of reviewing the extant neuromusical research has become more exciting, if not a bit more complicated due to the diversity of topics and the increasing number of available studies. We provide an overview of neuromusical research by discussing its historical foundations (especially with the advancements of imaging technologies), support from ancillary areas (anthropology, ethnomusicology, ethology, and music psychology), support from fetal and infant responses to music, and support from studies of special musicians (prodigies, savants, Williams Syndrome musicians, and Alzheimer’s patients). The main section presents findings and implications from recent neuroimaging studies by dividing the research into five categories: (1) Perception and Cognition, (2) Affective Responses, (3) Musical Performance, (4) Learning, and (5) Genetic Factors. Several broad conclusions regarding the state of human musicality are presented in the concluding section. Among these conclusions, perhaps the most valuable evidence that neuromusical research currently holds for educators is that musicality is a birthright of all people and that music processing is inherent to some degree in all humans. Humanity has long wondered about the mind. Before Descartes proposed “I think, therefore, I am” or even before Plato and Aristotle ever contemplated the psyche, the oldest brain map on record was being drawn upon papyrus in Egypt almost 5,000 years ago1.
