Synchrony as an Adaptive Mechanism for Large-Scale Human Social Bonding (2016, unknown): “It is important to return to the ubiquitous human aptitude for entrainment to rhythmic beats (Clayton et al. 2005; Brown & Jordania 2011), particularly those embedded in music (e.g. Demos et al. 2012) and, in addition, the detection of human agency, which is inextricably linked with the detection…”
Doing things with music (2011, background): “Entrainment is the alignment or coordination of bodily features with recurrent features of the environment (DeNora 2000; Clayton et al. 2004).11 By establishing a sonically inviting aural space, the infant perceives music as something to be attended to and appropriated.”
What is Entrainment? Definition and applications in musical research (2012, methodology): “This final section briefly introduces an approach to the study of musical entrainment in natural settings, which employs a ‘stroboscopic’ method designed for the investigation of entrainment between quasiperiodic rhythms (Pikovsky et al., 2001, Clayton et al., 2005).”
Emotions evoked by the sound of music: characterization, classification, and measurement. (2008, background): “Rather, musically induced happiness either takes the form of bliss or enchantment—as in wonder—or takes the form of joy combined with a curious, yet universal “affordance” of music: its tendency to elicit motor entrainment—as in joyful activation (see Clayton, Sager, & Will, 2004 ).”
