Science of music-based citizen science: How seeing influences hearing.

ABSTRACT: Citizen science engages volunteers to contribute data to scientific projects, often through visual annotation tasks. Hearing based activities are rare and less well understood. Having high quality annotations of performed music structures is essential for reliable algorithmic analysis of recorded music with applications ranging from music information retrieval to music therapy. Music annotations typically begin with an aural input combined with a variety of visual representations, but the impact of the visuals and aural inputs on the annotations are not known. Here, we present a study where participants annotate music segmentation boundaries of variable strengths given only visuals (audio waveform or piano roll) or only audio or both visuals and audio simultaneously. Participants were pres
