Championship of Standstill 2022 (EC2022): Optical motion-capture data of standstill to music, drums and silence

Optical motion-capture (OptiTrack Flex 13, 8 cameras, 120 Hz, single head marker) recordings of ~171 adults standing as still as possible for ~8 minutes while randomised music and drum stimuli alternated with 20-second silences, at the Championship of Standstill (EARMA conference, Oslo, 5-6 May 2022). A study of how head micromotion is affected by groove, syncopation, instrumentation and emotionally 'moving' music. The data consist of 26 group-session recordings, deposited as TSV in millimetres, adjusted to match the conventions used for the other Championships of Standstill and the rest of the Oslo Standstill Database. The original raw Motive C3D exports in metres are also included as a reference. The 4 custom drum tracks are included, and the 5 copyrighted music excerpts are withheld (CC-BY acoustic features provided). Self-report questionnaires, per-participant motion quantity, and the analysis code are deposited here and originate from the OSF project (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/UQTB4, CC BY 4.0); raw Motive .tak sessions and calibration are archived outside this deposit.
