Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Granger causality between knee flexion and pitch expectation persists in the immobile condition, attributed to involuntary flexion. → Moura 2023
Evidence¶
Moura 2023¶
Moura, N., Vidal, M., Aguilera, A. M., Vilas-Boas, J. P., Serra, S. & Leman, M. (2023). Knee flexion of saxophone players anticipates tonal context of music. npj Science of Learning 8:22. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-023-00172-z
q2 · i? · causal · r2
Granger causality tests in the immobile condition, with outliers removed; the article reports "P4 [ p < 0.0001, F = 4.897]" and per-passage statistics for P1–P3.
"Evidence of this causal relationships was also found in the IMO condition as involuntary flexion was observed: P1 [ p = 0.024, F = 2.025], P2 [p = 0.009, F = 2.296], P3 [p = 0.078, F = 1.663] and P4 [ p < 0.0001, F = 4.897]"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Knee flexion causally predicts pitch expectation in expressive playing (Granger causality) — related
- Micro-flexions (>1 Hz) occur more frequently in the immobile condition than the expressive condition — related
- Rhythmical density correlates negatively with knee movement amplitude and positively with flexion frequency
