Raw data for the thesis “How Linear Motion Affects the Perception of Melodic Intervals”

On the basis of the framework of embodied music cognition, this study explores the impact of movement on the perception of melodic intervals using a 6-degree-of-freedom motion simulator platform. This experiment involves three translational degrees of freedom (vertical, lateral, and anterior‒posterior) of the motion platform, employing a scaling estimation method to compare participants' perceptions of melodic interval distances under two conditions: with platform movement and with a stationary platform. The goal of this study was to investigate whether platform linear movement influences auditory perception of melodic interval directions and pitch distance between two notes. The results revealed that movement on the motion platform significantly affected participants' auditory perception of melodic intervals. Linear movement in all three degrees of freedom alters interval perception, with the direction of platform movement, along with the direction and quantity of the melodic interval, influencing the perceived melodic interval distance and cent variations.

基于具身音乐认知（embodied music cognition）框架，本研究利用6自由度运动模拟平台探究运动对旋律音程感知的影响。实验涉及运动平台的三个平移自由度（垂直、横向、前后），采用尺度估计法对比参与者在平台运动与静止两种条件下对旋律音程距离的感知。研究旨在探究平台线性运动是否影响对旋律音程方向及两音之间音高距离的听觉感知。结果表明，运动平台上的运动显著影响参与者对旋律音程的听觉感知；三个自由度上的线性运动均会改变音程感知，其中平台运动方向、旋律音程的方向与大小共同影响感知到的旋律音程距离及音分（cent）变化。
