Recently, age-related hippocampal (HP) volume loss could be associated with a decrease in general fluid intelligence (gF). In the present study we investigated whether and how extensive musical training modulates human HP volume and gF performance. Previou ...
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we show for the first time that levels of musical expertise stepwise modulate higher order brain functioning. This suggests that degree of training intensity drives such cerebral plasticity. Participants (non-mu ...
This thesis analyses the city of Buenos Aires as a lived space in its historical context, based on my childhood memories. It characterizes the specific Stimmung that colours the urban and suburban spaces of Buenos Aires in the XIXth and XXth century. I ach ...
Synopsis: This project is about using musical recordings of string instruments to determine on which strings notes have been played. It includes the study of the spectral content of the recordings and the development of a robust classifica ...
The motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, c ...
We developed MUSIC-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) to emulate intermittent contact mode AFM without a feedback loop and in the absence of lateral forces. This single-pass approach is based On maps of amplitude-phase-distance curves and allows the height ...
In this paper, we present a new approach towards high performance speech/music discrimination on realistic tasks related to the automatic transcription of broadcast news. In the approach presented here, the (local) Probability Density Function (PDF) estima ...
Our previous research indicates that using personality quizzes is a viable and promising way to build user profiles to recommend entertainment products. Based on these findings, our current research further investigates the feasibility of using personality ...

Critiquing-based recommenders do not require users to state all of their preferences upfront or rate a set of previously experienced products. Compared to other types of recommenders, they require relatively little user effort, especially initially, despit ...
