title = "On the relation between rhythm complexity measures and human rhythmic performance",
abstract = "Six measures of musical rhythm complexity were compared experimentally to human difficulty of performance (performance complexity) using two data, sets of rhythms, via phy-logenetic trees of the rank-correlation coefficient matrices obtained from rankings of the rhythms according to the complexity measures. The results suggest the hypothesis that measures of rhythmic syncopation that are based on a weighted metrical hierarchy, are better predictors of human performance difficulty than measures based on cognitive complexity, weighted distances from onsets to beats, or mathematical irregularity.",
