Claims

  1. Iyer applies embodied and situated cognition to music perception, arguing that cognitive universals grounded in bodily experience are tempered by cultural specificity, with focus on microrhythmic techniques in African-American music.
    "It is argued that cognitive universals grounded in human bodily experience are tempered by the cultural specificity that constructs the role of the body in musical performance. Special focus is given to microrhythmic techniques in specific forms of African-American music"
