Perceptual fusion of musical notes by native Amazonians suggests universal representations of musical intervals

Psychology

Perceptual fusion of musical notes by native Amazonians suggests universal representations of musical intervals

M. J. Mcpherson, S. E. Dolan, et al.

This fascinating study by Malinda J. McPherson and colleagues explores the influence of universal perceptual mechanisms versus cultural factors on how musical notes are perceived. Findings reveal that both Westerners and native Amazonians exhibit a greater tendency to fuse note combinations based on simple integer ratios, pointing towards a shared perceptual phenomenon, while cultural influences shape aesthetic preferences for consonant intervals.
