WHAT IS RPPW?
Rhythm Perception and Production workshopRPPW.org is a community resource for those engaged in the scientific study of rhythm perception and production. It has emerged out of a loose community of psychologists, neuroscientists, and cognitive scientists who share an interest in the understanding of rhythmic aspects to human experience. Rhythm is at the core of a wide range of human tasks, from speaking and dancing, to walking and synchronising with others. The biannual workshop is focused on the scientific study of the broad area of human movement, timing and time perception.
The principal vehicle of the community is a biannual workshop, held in various picturesque locations in Europe (and the world!). |

When is the next RPPW ?
RPPW 20 comes to Jyväskylä!RPPW 20 comes to the vibrant Finnish city of Jyväskylä on 16-19th June 2025 just before the midsummer. Jyväskylä (aka the "Athens of Finland") is renowned for its vibrant educational environment. It is located around the lake "Jyväsjärvi". Jyväskylä is particularly famous for its architectural heritage, largely influenced by Alvar Aalto, one of the pioneers of functionalism. His iconic designs, including the Alvar Aalto Museum and the university’s main campus, are integral to the city’s skyline and are a must-visit for enthusiasts. The region also hosts two of Finland’s seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Petäjävesi Old Church and the Oravivuori Triangulation Tower on the Struve Geodetic Arc. The conference orgainizing team will be led by Martin Hartmann at JYU - with support from the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies, Qualisys AB, Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body, and Brain (MMBB), MUSICONNECT, and the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies of the University of Jyväskylä.
