Modeling the Effect of Meter in the Identification of
Rhythmic Categories: Preliminary
Results. Animated time clumping map showing the
change from no meter to duple meter condition (left) and
from no meter to triple meter condition
(right). Example of the rhythm [0.263 0.421
0.316] (in seconds) presented in a duple meter context
(left, gray circle) and in a triple meter context (right,
gray circle). In the duple meter context most subjects (64%)
perceived the rhythm as 1-2-1 (10% identified it as 1-3-2).
In the triple context the very same rhythm is perceived by
most subjects as 1-3-2 (no one identified it as 1-2-1). The
audio examples are like the stimulus presented to the
subjects: three times repeated embedded in either a duple or
triple metrical context.
