Presentations & Sessions

The workshop was hybrid (in-person and remote attendance) and occurred in two parallel streams: one predominantly in-person, another remote. The presentations were medium-length talks (12-min presentation followed by 5-min questions). The sessions were 50-minutes and in varied styles, ranging from theoretically oriented discussions to hands-on tutorials focused on methods and demonstrations. The program is below.

Recorded presentations from remote presenters were sent to the organizer email in a format where they could be downloaded (e.g., WeTransfer, google drive, onedrive) by August 14th.

Remote presentations were streamed by the RITMO hosts in a Zoom meeting and presenters will had a 5-min question and answer period live over Zoom. Remote attendees could also watch the in-person stream on the YouTube livestream (see videos above). All registered participants received links to the Zoom meetings that hosted the remote presentations during the week of the workshop. These remote presentations were also attendable on-site in the RITMO meeting room. Remote attendees socialized in Zoom breakout rooms during the breaks. There were 5 breakout rooms: general socializing, one for each presentation for attendees who want to continue discussing a particular talk, and one for testing technology for the next presentations. Participants were encouraged to update their names with their pronouns, use one of the Zoom video backgrounds, and enhance their audio quality with a nice microphone or a headset with a microphone.

With the consent of presenters, all presentations are available for viewing publicly on the RITMO YouTube page in a playlist devoted to this workshop.

In-person presenters presented from a USB flash drive on our podium's desktop computer or their own personal laptops via an HDMI cable (we have adapters for USB-C, Mac, etc.). Presentations, audio, and video were tested 15 minutes before scheduled timeslots. For example, even if you are the third presenter 13:00-14:00, presenters still came to the stage to find a RITMO representative at 12:45.

Description

Entrainment is a term used to describe the adjustment and alignment of periodic signals in domains including sensorimotor and interpersonal coordination, oscillatory neural activity, and robotic interactions. This workshop aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers, all engaged in the pursuit of a better understanding of various processes and outcomes of entrainment. The workshop will feature keynote lectures by Prof. Martin Clayton (Durham University) and Prof. Molly Henry (Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics / Toronto Metropolitan University).

Location

Oslo is a wonderful city to visit in August, with many rhythmic events, including music festivals (such as Oslo's jazz festival), circadian rhythm disruptions due to the very long, sunny days, tidal ebb and flow in the fjord, and gentle breezes that rock the surrounding forest's trees. RITMO is a Norwegian Centre of Excellence at the University of Oslo bringing together researchers in musicology, psychology, and informatics. Researchers here are devoted to the interdisciplinary study of rhythm, time, and motion.
