What is the experiment about?

We're investigating the smallest differences in rhythm that people can detect in groove-based music with a steady beat. In this study, you will listen to sound clips and try to noticing subtle timing shifts. By participating, you'll help us understand the limits of human rhythm perception, and contribute to our knowledge of how precisely we perceive timing in music.

What does being a participant involve?

The project entails a variety of perceptual listening tests where you will hear several versions of a short musical groove, and be asked to different qualities about the rhythm and timing of the instruments. There will also be a short questionnaire about your musical experience. We will also be collecting pupillometry (eye tracking) data during the experiment.

How long does the experiment take?

The experiment takes about 1.5 - 2 hours.

Will I be compensated?

Yes, you will receive a 400,- NOK Gift Card, and be in the running for a special prize. 

How can I sign-up?

Where will the experiment take place?

The experiment will be conducted at the Department of Psychology (PSI), at the University of Oslo, Address: 澳门葡京手机版app下载sveien 3, 0373 Oslo (Inngang A). 

If you have already signed up via the Nettskjema, one of the project team members will contact you to arrange a suitable date and time to come in.

What will happen to my data?

All information will be processed and used without your name or personal identification number, or any other information that is directly identifiable to you. This means that information about you will be anonymized and cannot be linked to you after your participation in the study.

Who is responsible for the project?

Post-doctoral research fellow Guilherme Schmidt Camara is the project leader. For more information on the project, you can contact him at g.s.camara@imv.uio.no
