Abstract(in English) In this work, we investigate rhythm perception from human arm movements like a conductor of an orchestra to study the communication by gesture. Subjects were required to adjust the timing of metronome sound to synchronize when the human's hand in the animation passes the specified point in a vertical plane. The time errors were reduced when the peak time of the torque change appears at the specified position. These results suggest that since the movement in which the feature of kinematics and the feature of dynamics appear simultaneously is an easy pattern to perceive the rhythm, a conductor performs such movements.
