What we know/what is commonly tested:

  • preference
  • ability to perceive specific types of dissonances (more often than consonance)
  • effect of consonance/dissonance on cognitive performance (arousal, responsiveness, brain activity, etc.)

Emerging:

  • psychophysical link: acoustic to what is perceived
  • expectation
  • cultural

Consonance and Dissonance

  • the phenomena: consonance and dissonance
  • hard to describe: many studies use words such as "harmonious", "pleasing", "pure", "ugly", "harsh", etc.
  • separation from other musical factors: register, volume, instrument and timbre, tonality, and many more
  • defining consonance and dissonance
  • different between musicians and non-musicians
  • different among musicians
  • context
  • relationship between quanitification and other factors, especially perception
  • sociocultural factors and biological factors
  • different levels of consonance and dissonance
  • simultaneous, melodic/contrapuntal, long-term
