When listening to music, we naturally move our bodies rhythmically to the beat, which can
be pleasurable and difficult to resist. This pleasurable sensation of wanting to move the body …

Groove, understood as an enjoyable compulsion to move to musical rhythms, typically varies
along an inverted U-curve with increasing rhythmic complexity (eg, syncopation, pickups) …

When presented with complex rhythmic auditory stimuli, humans are able to track underlying
temporal structure (eg, a “beat”), both covertly and with their movements. This capacity goes …

Long-term and culture-specific experience of music shapes rhythm perception, leading to
enculturated expectations that make certain rhythms easier to track and more conducive to …

Music can be interpreted by attributing syntactic relationships to sequential musical events,
and, computationally, such musical interpretation represents an analogous combinatorial …

Temporality lies at the very heart of music, and the play with rhythmic and metrical structures
constitutes a major device across musical styles and genres. Rhythmic and metrical …

Music often evokes a regular beat and a pleasurable sensation of wanting to move to that
beat called groove. Recent studies show that a rhythmic pattern's ability to evoke groove …

While it is well known that humans are highly responsive to rhythm, the factors that influence
our ability to synchronize remain unclear. In the current study, we examined how stimulus …

Syncopation–the occurrence of a musical event on a metrically weak position preceding a
rest on a metrically strong position–represents an important challenge in the study of the …

The GrooveToolbox is a new Python toolbox implementing various algorithms, new and pre-
existing, for the analysis and comparison of symbolic drum loops, including rhythm features …
