Summary:
In this study, to investigate fundamental properties of the synchronization between heartbeat and musical beat, three musical stimuli having different change of tempo were employed in the listening experiment. Changes of tempi were Up, Flat, Down. Cardio-Music Synchrogram that is a kind of statistical method was applied to observe and investigate the synchronization. In comparison of the length of synchronization period, significant effect of musical tempo on the length was observed. Furthermore, shortest synchronization period was observed in Flat condition. Although there was the difference of the length between the conditions, change of the heart rate between before and after the listening musical stimuli was not observed. Synchronization, i.e. phase locking was considered as not successive phenomenon.
