Metrical congruency and kinematic familiarity facilitate temporal binding between musical and dance rhythms

Abstract

Although music and dance are often experienced simultaneously, it is unclear what modulates their perceptual integration. This study investigated how two factors related to music-dance correspondences influenced audiovisual binding of their rhythms: the metrical match between the music and dance, and the kinematic familiarity of the dance movement. Participants watched a point-light figure dancing synchronously to a triple-meter rhythm that they heard in parallel, whereby the dance communicated a triple (congruent) or a duple (incongruent) visual meter. The movement was either the participant's own or that of another participant. Participants attended to both streams while detecting a temporal perturbation in the auditory beat. The results showed lower sensitivity to the auditory deviant when the visual dance was metrically congruent to the auditory rhythm and when the movement was the participant's own. This indicated stronger audiovisual binding and a more coherent bimodal rhythm in these conditions, thus making a slight auditory deviant less noticeable. Moreover, binding in the metrically incongruent condition involving self-generated visual stimuli was correlated with self-recognition of the movement, suggesting that action...Continue Reading
