Abstract
- Dancing to music is a human universal that relies on beat perception.
- Listeners may infer the “tempo” or speed of music from:
- the time interval between beats;
- the density of events;
- higher-level features of musical temporal organization (the meter).
- The “Gabbling Foreigner Illusion” is the observation that listeners perceive unfamiliar languages as being faster than familiar ones.
- Even when music is the same speed, listeners tap faster to unfamiliar music.
- Does culture background impact how we perceive musical tempo?
