ABSTRACT

It is possible to represent the behavior of two incompatible models of rhythm perception, the symbolic Longuet-Higgins musical parser and the Desain & Honing connectionist quantizer in different perspectives that make them comparable. These perspectives-the process state trace, the parameter and rhythm space, and the expectancy perspectivehighlight different aspects of the models. Visualizations of these representations turned out to be crucial-even if the dimensionality or the flexability had to be reduced.
