Groove is often described as the experience of music that makes people tap their feet and want to dance. A high degree of consistency in ratings of groove across listeners indicates that physical properties of the sound signal contribute to groove (Madison, 2006). Here, correlations were assessed between listeners' ratings and a number of quantitative descriptors of rhythmic properties for one hundred music examples from five distinct traditional music genres. Groove was related to several different rhythmic properties, some of which were genre-specific and some of which were general across genres. Two descriptors corresponding to the density of events between beats and the salience of the beat, respectively, were strongly correlated with groove across domains. In contrast, systematic deviations from strict positions on the metrical grid, so-called microtiming, did not play any significant role. The results are discussed from a functional perspective of rhythmic music to enable and facilitate entrainment and precise synchronization among individuals.
律动通常被描述为一种让人想要跟着节拍踏脚起舞的音乐体验。在听众中，对律动的评分高度一致，这表明声音信号的物理特性有助于产生律动（Madison，2006）。在这里，评估了听众的评分与 100 个音乐样本的一些定量节奏属性描述符之间的相关性，这些音乐样本来自五个不同的传统音乐流派。律动与一些不同的节奏属性有关，其中一些是特定于流派的，而另一些则是跨流派的。分别对应于拍子之间事件密度和拍子突出性的两个描述符与律动在各个领域都有很强的相关性。相比之下，从严格的韵律网格位置上的系统偏差，即所谓的微节奏，并没有起到任何重要作用。这些结果从节奏音乐的功能角度进行了讨论，以实现和促进人与人之间的同步和精确同步。
