经济学人：低音会让人更想翩翩起舞(上)

This is Scientific American’s 60-Second Science. I’m Karen Hopkin.Ever notice that some music just really makes you want to dance?Well, a new study shows that it is, indeed, all about the bass.Because researchers have found that, during a concert, boosting the bass bumps up the boogying.The results appear in the journal Current Biology.Music and musical rhythm have been kind of fascinating to me for a long time, since I was a kid. In particular, the way that they make us feel.Daniel Cameron is a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster University.He also plays drums.As a drummer, you’re interested in making the crowd want to move and feel good and give a good pleasurable time feel.And this is related to the work I do in science.

这里是科学美国人——60秒科学系列，我是凯伦·霍普金。为什么一听到某些音乐你就会不由自主地想跳起舞来？嗯，一项新研究表明，这和音乐里的低音有关。研究人员发现，在音乐会期间加入更多的低音会让人更多地随音乐起舞。相关结果发表在《当代生物学》杂志上。从我还是个孩子开始，我就对音乐和音乐节奏十分着迷，特别是它们带给人们的感觉。丹尼尔·卡梅隆是麦克马斯特大学的博士后。他还是个鼓手。作为一名鼓手，你感兴趣的是如何让人群律动起来，心情愉悦，沉浸享受。这就涉及到了我的科学研究领域。

 

Cameron and his colleagues want to understand how music can engender an almost irrepressible urge to feel our bodies in motion.And we knew from anecdotal evidence and other experimental evidence that there was an association between bass and dancing.So, people who enjoy electronic dance music, or EDM, report that the thrumming bass produces a sensation that makes them want to move.And some studies have shown that our movements are more fine-tuned when we’re locked onto bass notes.So, for example, if you have people tap along to a sequence of tones, their tapping is slightly more accurate, they’re more synchronized…when those tones are low in frequency compared to high in frequency.So the researchers set out to determine: If you add more bass to music, will it cause more dancing?

卡梅隆和同事想弄明白，音乐是如何让我们的身体产生几乎无法抑制的冲动，让我们感觉身体也随之律动的：基于各种故事和实验证据，我们发现低音和起舞之间存在一定关联。喜欢电子舞曲的人表示，持续的低音会产生一种让他们想要随之律动的感觉。而一些研究表明，在锚定低音音符时，我们的动作节奏会更精准。例如，如果你让人们随着一系列的音调打节拍，他们的拍子会稍微准确一些，更一致一些——当这些音调的频率较低的时候。因此研究人员开始实验去确定：如果你在音乐中加入更多的低音，会引发更多的起舞吗？
