Empirically Assessing Rhythmic Entrainment: A Re-analysis of Ohriner’s “Listener-Performance Synchronicity in Recorded Performances of Chopin’s Mazurkas”

Abstract

This text comments on Ohriner's (2014) paper and undertakes a brief quantitative re-analysis of Ohriner's tapping data generously provided by the author. The aim here is to briefly test two hypotheses brought forward in the original paper in a quantitative way by proposing an alternative way of data processing and analysis. Future extensions of this promising stream of work are discussed.
