Spontaneous motor tempo over the course of a week: The role of the time of the day, chronotype, and arousal

The spontaneous motor tempo (SMT) or internal tempo describes the natural pace of predictive and emergent movements such as walking or hand clapping. One of the main research interests in the study of the spontaneous motor tempo relates to factors affecting its pace. Previous studies suggest an influence of the circadian rhythm (i.e., 24-h cycle of the biological clock), physiological arousal changes, and potentially also musical experience. This study aimed at investigating these effects in participants‘ everyday life by measuring their SMT four times a day over seven consecutive days, using an experience sampling method. The pace of the SMT was assessed with a finger-tapping paradigm in a selfdeveloped web application. Measured as the inter-tap interval, the overall mean SMT was 650 ms (SD = 253 ms). Using multi-level modelling (MLM), results show that the pace of the SMT sped up over the course of the day, and that this effect depended on the participants’ chronotype, since participants tending towards morning type were faster in the morning compared to participants tending towards evening type. During the day, the pace of the SMT of morning types stayed relatively constant, whereas it became faster for evening-type participants. Furthermore, higher arousal in participants led to a faster pace of the SMT. Musical sophistication did not influence the SMT. These results indicate that the circadian rhythm influences the internal tempo, since the pace of SMT is not only dependent on the time of the day, but also on the individual entrainment to the 24-h cycle (chronotype).

Esse conjunto de dados sustenta os resultados e as conclusões do estudo: LIMA, Luis Fernando Maia; DE LUCCA, Djuli Machado; LEITE, Cassiane Macedo. Competência em informação: padrões do tempo de aceite de artigos indexados na BRAPCI. Encontros Bibli, Florianópolis, v. 28, e. 94373, 2023. Disponível em: https://doi.org/10.5007/1518-2924.2023.e94373. Acesso em: 03 out. 2023.  Resumo do artigo: Objetiva analisar aspectos relacionados ao tempo de aceite dos artigos brasileiros que contemplam a competência em informação indexados na base BRAPCI, indicando evolução temporal, padrões medianos de tempo de aceite, periódicos e a relação entre tempos de aceite e qualidade dos periódicos. Trata-se de análise estatística relacionada ao período entre a submissão e aprovação de artigos científicos originais brasileiros indexados na base BRAPCI entre os anos de 2000 a 2019, a partir de estratégia de busca que contempla os termos ‘competência em informação’ e seus sinônimos na literatura científica em Ciência da Informação. Foram úteis para a investigação um conjunto de 177 artigos publicados entre 2004 e 2019, sendo a maioria deles com tempo de aceite aceitável e esperado, conforme parâmetros levantados na literatura. Há, ainda, uniformidade da distribuição anual dos tempos de aceite entre os anos de 2014 e 2018. Os resultados evidenciam que não há relação entre a qualidade do periódico e tempos mais curtos de aceite. É possível observar, pelo menos a partir dos resultados levantados nesta investigação, que o tempo de aceite é um elemento favorável no processo de comunicação científica da temática de competência em informação no Brasil e pode, como consequência, constituir-se como um fator contribuidor para o desenvolvimento da temática em âmbito social, na ocasião em que os resultados das investigações são celeremente divulgados à sociedade. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Tempo de aceite; Comunicação Científica; Competência em informação; Produção científica.

Uma Teoria da Consciência como Quarta Dimensão: Proposta de uma Interação Entre Consciência e Espaço-Tempo

Resumo:   Esta teoria propõe que a consciência humana pode ser considerada uma manifestação da quarta dimensão, interagindo com o espaço-tempo de formas ainda não completamente compreendidas. Acreditamos que a consciência não é apenas um fenômeno biológico ou psicológico, mas uma interação complexa com o espaço-tempo, possivelmente afetando e sendo afetada por ele de maneiras que desafiam a física clássica e quântica. A teoria sugere uma modelagem matemática que visa descrever essas interações e um experimento simples para testar esta hipótese, sem a necessidade de tecnologia avançada.

Beethoven's Indications of Tempo and Expression

Database: Beethoven’s Indications of Tempo and Expression This data set was created during 2012-2016 as a tool for my doctorate research on Beethoven’s tempo indications at the University of Manchester. It provides an unprecedented overview of Beethoven’s entire published oeuvre, both with opus numbers and without, by documenting the time signature, tempo indication, indicators of expression, and metronome marks for each individual section of each piece. This data set has been used for my doctoral project and its spin-off publications to achieve the following objectives: The first objective was to create an understanding of how Beethoven thought about tempo through the consideration of the surviving documentary evidence. This was achieved by combining the theoretical principles of tempo that Beethoven was familiar with and subscribed to earlier in his life and observing how these principles played out in the context of his entire oeuvre. Here, Beethoven’s own metronome marks served as benchmarks of the indicative speeds, with the later editorial speeds by Czerny, Moscheles, and Holz also being considered relevant in the absence of authoritative indications. (Admittedly, subsequent research has somewhat complicated the connection between these later editorial indications and Beethoven's practices.) The result is not only a detailed overview of how Beethoven used different combinations of note values, metres, and tempo indications to indicate the desired speed — or, in a small number of cases, how he used this system inconsistently or erroneously — but also exposed a number of longstanding errors in the literature. A relevant example of the latter is the metronome mark for the Schreckensfanfare that opens the last movement of the Ninth Symphony. The sources for this metronome mark show a discrepancy that in all literature had hitherto been resolved in favour of dotted minim = 66, but using the database I have been able to show that a reading of dotted minim = 96 is actually more plausible in the context of Beethoven's use.             The second objective was to provide some overview of how Beethoven used expressive indications, and what they may have intended to convey. This was achieved by studying the definitions of the different expressive indications that Beethoven used (dolce, espressivo, cantabile, etc.), as well as the specific contexts in which these expressions occur within Beethoven’s oeuvre. This was originally planned to be the secondary focus of my doctoral project, but it was ultimately excised from my thesis for reasons of space, and has since been the focus of an independent study.    About the database The database consists of four different layers, which in the file represented as individual worksheets. Opus numbers contains all of the opus numbers and WoO numbers of the compositions included in the database. In order to not overcomplicate the data, the same variable Opus has been used for Opus numbers and WoO numbers, with the former using 1-138 and the latter 1001-1158. Not included are arrangements made of Beethoven’s works without his involvement or works that are clearly spurious, such as the arrangements opp. 63-4 and the canon WoO 162, respectively. In cases of opus number being used multiple times, such opus 81 or 121, rather than use letters to indicate the different versions as is most common, this dataset represents these as a decimal number (i.e. 72,1; 81,2, etc.). Also included are the place and publisher of the first edition used to obtain the indications in the rest of the dataset, as well as any relevant comments on the publication.             The worksheet Movements breaks the opus numbers down into individual pieces, and adds the variables Number, Work title, and Movement, as well as another layer of commentary. The most useful worksheet is Sections, which includes the Time Signature, Tempo Markings, Metronome Mark, and localised Indicators of Tempo and Expression. (Should the note values in the metronome marks not display correctly on your computer, please install the Bach Font.) Using Microsoft Excel’s Filter and Sort feature, it is possible to get a complete overview of Beethoven’s uses of these elements for all works included in the database. There is also a Sorting number which can be used to bring the records back into the original order.     This database has been used as a research tool in the preparation of the following publications:   Noorduin, Marten, Beethoven’s Tempo Indications, PhD thesis, University of Manchester, 2016. <a href="https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/uk-ac-man-scw:302884">https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/uk-ac-man-scw:302884</a>   ——————— ,  ‘Re-examining Czerny’s and Moscheles’s Metronome Marks for Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas’, Nineteenth-Century Music Review, 15/2 (August 2018), 209–235. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1017/s1479409817000027">https://doi.org/10.1017/s1479409817000027</a>   ——————— , ‘The Metronome Marks for Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in Context’, Early Music, 49/1 (February 2021), 129–145. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1093/em/caab005">https://doi.org/10.1093/em/caab005</a>   ——————— , ‘Beethoven’s Indicators of Expression in his Piano Works’, in Beethoven and the Piano (Musikforschung der Hochschule der Künste Bern), ed.

Biological Motion and Emotion: Investigating the Impact of Tempo Manipulations

The video set includes 26 audiovisual or visual-only stimuli that served in the perceptual experiment of the study "Comparing original and tempo-manipulatd biological movements: From Kinematics to multimodal emotion and time perception". Among the videos, 18 were experimental stimuli while 8 were stimuli in catch trials. The experimental stimuli were named after the following format: "Manipulation_Modality", while catch trial stimuli were named after "Manipulation_Duration". Slow represents 86BPM, medium represents 130BPM, while fast represents 195BPM. "Fast2Slow_Audiovisual.mp4", for instance, stands for an audiovisual stimuli that was originally recorded in 195BPM and decelerated to 86BPM.
