I am conducting an online study to explore listeners' spontaneous grouping of tones into rhythmic sequences and will be closing data collection by June 1. I am particularly interested in getting more participants in the age group 25 and above. The study is in English and takes approximately 25 minutes to complete.


The following will lead you to the study, which is titled "Spontaneous Grouping":

What this experiment is about:


In everyday life, our ears are continuously stimulated by a wide variety of sounds that come from multiple sources and serve different purposes. Rather than perceiving these sounds as a chaotic mass, our mind is able to organize them in such a way that meaningful signals, such as music or speech, are differentiated from noise. One important aspect that contributes to the disentanglement of sounds is the way they are grouped in time, their “rhythm.”


Please don't hesitate to contact Ève Poudrier, principal investigator (eve.po...@yale.edu) with any queries.

Feel free to distribute the invitation to anyone you think might be interested!

Thank you!
