The influence of rhythmic and spectro-timbral musical features on gait-related movement

2017Music makes us move, and humans have the universal tendency to synchronise their movements to music. This phenomenon has been used in music therapy to help people with movement disorders regain control over their movements. Rhythmic auditory stimulation has shown promising results in gait rehabilitation in various clinical populations. In healthy populations, various differences have been found between movement while walking to musical and metronome stimuli in terms of stride length. However, insufficient research has been conducted concerning the musical features that could evoke this difference, and which gait-related movements might change under the influence of music. The aim of this motion capture study was to investigate the effects of various rhythmic and spectro-timbral musical features on gait-related movement and to explore the differences between various types of auditory cues and their connections to movement. Participants were asked to walk to a variety of musical and metronome stimuli, which were divided into four tempo groups, ranging from 80 bpm to 145 bpm. Cadence and walking speed tended to increase with tempo, though exact period-matching of cadence to tempo generally did not occur. Furthermore, cadence and walking speed increased with the musical features pulse clarity and spectral flux. Participants also moved more smoothly to slower songs than to moderate tempo songs and fluidity of movement was negatively correlated with pulse clarity, low-frequency spectral flux, and mean spectral flux. Furthermore, stride length and walking speed were increased while listening to metronome beats compared to when listening to musical stimuli and participants tended to adapt their cadence more to the tempi of metronome stimuli than to musical stimuli. Also, musical timing affected hand distance, with decreased hand distance occurring in music with swung timing compared to music with straight timing. These results suggest that musical features can have a significant effect on gait-related movements in young healthy adults.

Embodied Meter Revisited : Entrainment, Musical Content, and Genre in Music-Induced Movement
Toiviainen, Petri; Carlson, Emily (University of California Press, 2022)Previous research has shown that humans tend to embody musical meter at multiple beat levels during spontaneous dance. This work that been based on identifying typical periodic movement patterns, or eigenmovements, and has ... -
Influences of rhythm- and timbre-related musical features on characteristics of music-induced movement
Burger, Birgitta; Thompson, Marc; Luck, Geoff; Saarikallio, Suvi; Toiviainen, Petri (Frontiers, 2013)Music makes us move. Several factors can affect the characteristics of such movements, including individual factors or musical features. For this study, we investigated the effect of rhythm- and timbre-related musical ... -
Testing a spectral-based feature set for audio genre classification
Hartmann, Martín Ariel (2011)Automatic musical genre classification is an important information retrieval task since it can be applied for practical purposes such as the organization of data collections in the digital music industry. However, this ... -
Relationships Between Audio and Movement Features, and Perceived Emotions in Musical Performance
Thompson, Marc R.; Mendoza, Juan Ignacio; Luck, Geoff; Vuoskoski, Jonna K. (SAGE Publications, 2023)A core aspect of musical performance is communicating emotional and expressive intentions to the audience. Recognition of the musician's intentions is constructed from a combination of visual and auditory performance cues, ...
