Musical Expectation Bias


Musical Expectation Bias

Is it likely that such biases also extend not to just geographically separated cultures but also to "cultures" specifically dedicated to different musical stylistic categories. ie rock, classical, jazz etc?

And how might these biases color our discussions of things like "tube holography" and similar subjects?

I will trust more someone educated with non amplified musical instrument with classical music recording than with just electrical amplified popular music for advice on gear and acoustics... Sorry if i hurt some...

We learn how to listen and our acquired  biases exist and  will impact on soundfield acoustic evaluation ... Think just about decibels listenings levels among many other factors 😁...

it influence not just our rythm interpretation but all other acoustics and musical factors evaluation as timbre experience and immersiveness acoustic conditions...

A recording of piano in a church is not an electrical guitar rock band show recording.. The recording studio works is not done for the same crowd... Dynamic impressions which are asked for are not the same and for not the same goal...

Musical education biases matter even for gear choices and evaluation ... The same for acoustic expertise biases which ask for musical education...

 

and that was done by MIT...

Don't they have larger priorities than fall on to being so useless?

Giraffes called studies about cheese flavors chemistry useless because it is supposed to  interest primary the mice taste only...

But we humans called interesting in his own way any studies about cheese tastes chemistry and cultural choices  or acoustics biases  because we are interested in psychoacoustics cultural studies as well  ... 😊

@mahgister you really MUST understand the reputation of MIT being an elite university for technologies and engineering. That particular study on how certain nationals get used to their native harmonies and rhythms maybe fine for universities with liberal arts orientation, but not really engineering and/or technologies!!
