The integration of music sounds with concurrent visual scenes or objects is a occurrence in our daily lives, attracting the attention of researchers investigating how music influences our perceptions of simultaneous visuals. This study specifically investigates the role of musical pitch height in shaping our judgments of visual brightness during concurrent music–visual events. Participants were presented with pitch-modified versions of a wide range of emotional music pieces alongside various visual stimuli. The results demonstrate that lower-pitched music tends to elicit darker judgments of visual objects than higher-pitched music, when the actual visual brightness level remains constant. These findings suggest the influence of musical pitch height on introducing biases in our evaluations of visual brightness within the context of concurrent music-visual experiences, contributing to the advancement of our theoretical understanding of the complex audiovisual integration involving music in our everyday lives.

并发音高使视觉亮度判断产生偏差

音乐声音与并发视觉场景或物体的结合在我们的日常生活中经常发生，吸引了研究音乐如何影响我们对同步视觉的感知的研究人员的注意。这项研究专门研究了音高高度在同时发生的音乐-视觉事件中影响我们对视觉亮度的判断的作用。向参与者展示了各种情感音乐作品的音调修改版本以及各种视觉刺激。结果表明，当实际视觉亮度水平保持不变时，与高音调音乐相比，低音调音乐往往会引发对视觉对象的更暗的判断。这些发现表明，音高高度对我们在同时进行的音乐视觉体验的背景下对视觉亮度的评估产生偏差的影响，有助于提高我们对日常生活中涉及音乐的复杂视听整合的理论理解。
