Perceptual timing judgments hinge on harmonic relations among musical chords, revealing significant auditory influence.
Participants found harmonically similar chords closer in time, with judgments affected by harmonic fit ratings.
Experimental investigation involved participants judging timing in three-chord sequences, demonstrating music's layered complexity.
Results imply harmonic features serve a dual role in auditory perception, emphasizing potential crossover between low-level cues and musical context.
