• Synchronization and Continuation Tapping to Complex Meters (2006, background): “Music theorists describe meter as containing a hierarchy of two or more isochronous (evenly spaced) beat levels, which are abstracted from and not necessarily identical to rhythms in the musical surface structure (Lerdahl & Jackendoff, 1983; London, 2002, 2004; Palmer & Krumhansl, 1990).”
• Neural correlates of rhythmic expectancy (2006, unknown): “Such harmonic responses are nonlinear (Large & Kolen, 1994) and support approaches that incorporate interval subdivision to explain rate limits of perception and synchronization (London, 2002; Repp, 2003).”
• Tempo and Rhythm (2010, background): “Still other work has shown that for both simple and complex meters characteristic of Western music, there is a tendency to tap out higher time levels in an implied metric hierarchy at fast tempos than at slow tempos (Duke 1989; Parncutt 1994; London 2002, 2004 ).”
• A Model of Melodic Expectation (2005, background): “As Justin London (2002) remarks, " the constraint on the scope of larger temporal patterns is correlated with our sense of the psychological present " (p. 536), a period whose upper limit researchers have variously placed between 5 and 10 seconds.”
• PRODUCTION AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF UNEVEN RHYTHMS AT FAST TEMPI (2005, background): “London (2002, 2004) reviewed both the music-theoretic and psychological literature on rhythm perception and performance and concluded that the shortest IOI that can be perceived or performed as an element of a rhythmic pattern is around 100 ms.”
