| Description | Rhythmic beat is known to promote synchronous and coordinated behavior (dancing, rowing etc.), and is a widespread feature of many rituals (Fitch, 2006; Kirschner & Tomasello, 2012). However, very little is yet known about after effects of rhythm exposure, especially on human cooperation. Through investigations into the role of music in rituals, this study hopes to identify how rhythm facilitates these overlapping self-other representations. |
