Rhythm Perception and Production workshopRPPW.org is a community resource for those engaged in the scientific study of rhythm perception and production. It has emerged out of a loose community of psychologists, neuroscientists, and cognitive scientists who share an interest in the understanding of rhythmic aspects to human experience. Rhythm is at the core of a wide range of human tasks, from speaking and dancing, to walking and synchronising with others. The biannual workshop is focused on the scientific study of the broad area of human movement, timing and time perception.
The principal vehicle of the community is a biannual workshop, held in various picturesque locations in Europe (and the world!). |
