'MUSIC IS THE BEST MEANS WE HAVE OF DIGESTING TIME': A STUDY OF TEMPORAL PERCEPTION 'MUSIC IS THE BEST MEANS WE HAVE OF DIGESTING TIME': A STUDY OF TEMPORAL (original) (raw)

This study investigates the impact of sonic interruptions on the ability to maintain a 60 bpm pulse, particularly comparing musicians and non-musicians. Four predictions are tested regarding the degree of deviation from the target pulse across different instrumentalists and their training in genres, highlighting active listening tasks of imitation, perception, and production. Results indicate that rhythmic musicians show less deviation from the target BPM, suggesting that musical training significantly aids temporal perception.
