This is a final email about the 16th Rhythm Production and Perception Workshop (RPPW 2017).
The
16th RPPW will be held at the Digital Media Technology Lab at Birmingham City University’s Parkside building in Birmingham, UK from the 3rd to the 5th of July 2017. RPPW is an international biannual event that brings researchers from a range of disciplines together to engage in discussions about the scientific study of rhythm. Rhythm is at the core of a wide range of human tasks, from speaking and dancing, to walking and synchronising with others. The workshop is traditionally centred around psychology and neuroscience, however this year we have a number of workshops, oral presentations and posters from the Music Information Retrieval Community.
