Sonification for Music Induced Movement Analysis

Music Induced Movement (MIM), also known as dancing, characterizes the diversity of movements made in response to music. By attaching markers to the body and exposing subjects to different music, these movements can be analyzed scientifically. In this domain, sonification provides a creative and intuitive method for analysis, allowing the listener to perceive the movements in the same medium as the music. The following three videos, created by researcher Petri Toiviainen from The Finnish Center of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Music Research, are examples of this point. In the sonification, see if you can hear all four rhythmic levels. How do these rhythms match with the rhythm of the music? Which level matches best?
