Embodied Groove-Synchrony Model: Movement Context Reshapes Coupling

A 675.9 KB supplementary document details a study on groove and synchronization. The research by Hiroko Tanabe, last updated in May 2026, involved participants rating urge-to-move and pleasure while listening to rhythms with varying syncopation under three movement conditions. Auditory-motor synchronization was quantified using phase-locking values between musical rhythms and head movement.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between musical syncopation and subjective groove ratings based on the described experimental design.
• Analyzing the effect of movement context (Free, Static, Dynamic) on auditory-motor synchronization based on the described conditions.
• Investigating the functional role of synchronization at different metrical levels (1 Hz, 2 Hz) in the groove experience based on the reported findings.
• Testing theories of embodied music cognition using the proposed Embodied Groove-Synchrony Model detailed in the document.

Strengths

• The document is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed research study methodology described in detail.
• It presents a novel theoretical model (the Embodied Groove-Synchrony Model) distinguishing entrained engagement from phase-based synchronization.
• The data collection involved three distinct movement conditions and three levels of musical syncopation, suggesting a structured experimental design.

Limitations

• The dataset consists of a single 675.9 KB DOCX file, which is a supplementary document rather than raw or processed data tables.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, making direct computational analysis impossible without extracting information from the text.
• The row count and specific data variables are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for direct reuse.

Collection Method

Likely collected via a controlled laboratory experiment where participants listened to rhythms and provided ratings, with head movement tracked.
