Listening to music makes us move in various
ways. Several factors can affect the characteristics of
these movements, including individual factors and
musical features. Additionally, music-induced movement
may also be shaped by the emotional content of
the music, since emotions are an important element of
musical expression. This study investigates possible
relationships between emotional characteristics of
music and music-induced, quasi-spontaneous movement.
We recorded music-induced movement of 60
individuals, and computationally extracted features
from the movement data. Additionally, the emotional
content of the stimuli was assessed in a perceptual
experiment. A subsequent correlational analysis
revealed characteristic movement features for each
emotion, suggesting that the body reflects emotional
qualities of music. The results show similarities to
movements of professional musicians and dancers, and
to emotion-specific nonverbal behavior in general, and
could furthermore be linked to notions of embodied
music cognition. The valence and arousal ratings were
subsequently projected onto polar coordinates to further
investigate connections between the emotions of
Russell’s (1980) circumplex models and the movement
features.

Relationships between spectral flux, perceived rhythmic strength, and the propensity to move
Burger, Birgitta; Ahokas, Riikka; Keipi, Aaro; Toiviainen, Petri (Logos Verlag Berlin, 2013)The tendency to move to music seems to be built into human nature. Previous studies have shown a relationship between movement and the degree of spectral flux in music, particularly in the lower sub-bands. In this study, ...
