Redundant temporal regularities could provide strong constraints on musical structure that inform listeners' predictive processes.

We suggest that the phenomenon of perceiving musical meter is not just about rhythm, but is a more general perceptual phenomenon, instantiating complex profiles of temporal dependencies across event timing and event content.

In other words, you can infer musical meter from knowing about temporal regularities in when note onsets will occur, but you can also infer it from knowing about temporal regularities in when pitches are repeated, or when intervals from one pitch to the next are repeated.

These temporal regularities are redundant across multiple features of event content, such as pitch heights and intervals, and how expected/unexpected pitches are.

Music sets up temporal expectations about *when* events will happen. But we find that it also contains rich temporal regularities in *what* will happen!
We show that temporal regularities in event times (when) and event content (what) provide redundant sources of information about music's meter.

It looks like all of the chancellors have signed! Thank you, @chancellormay.bsky.social and the rest of the UC chancellors! But I'd love to see Michael Drake sign too. @uofcalifornia.bsky.social, what's stopping you?
