Dr Joel Rindelaub: UOA Research Fellow on the study that confirms bass-infused music makes people want to dance more

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

A new study has confirmed that bass-infused music makes people want to dance more- anyone who's been to a music festival knows the drill, but this research has confirmed a link. A study run by the journal 'Current Biology' confirmed that participants were more likely to dance when low-frequency bass was added to the test music, despite the test subjects not being aware of it. Dr Joel Rindelaub joined us to explain this scientific link between bass and dance, and why people were more likely to respond to music with low frequency instruments.
