Axiomatic scale theory

Scales are a fundamental concept of musical practice around the world. They commonly exhibit symmetry properties that are formally studied using cyclic groups in the field of mathematical scale theory. This paper proposes an axiomatic framework for mathema ...

Transitions of Tonality: A Model-Based Corpus Study

Fabian Claude Moss

Tonality has been the cornerstone of Western music-theoretical discourse for centuries. This study addresses the subject, using traditional music analysis, data-driven corpus methods, and computational models, concentrating on historical changes of tonalit ...

Spatiotemporal feature integration within discrete time windows provides evidence for discrete perception

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Leila Drissi Daoudi - Kleinbauer

Intuitively, consciousness seems to be a continuous stream of percepts. Here, contrary to intuition, we show evidence for discrete consciousness, occurring only at certain moments of time. We presented a Vernier followed by a sequence of flanking lines on ...

Adult human perception of distress in the cries of bonobo, chimpanzee, and human infants

Understanding the extent to which humans perceive the emotional state of animals has both theoretical and practical implications. While recent studies indicate that natural selection has led to some convergence of emotion coding among vertebrate species (i ...

Quasi-continuous unconscious processing precedes discrete conscious perception

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig

Perception seems to be a continuous stream and, for this reason, we often implicitly assume that perception is continuous. In fact, many models of vision rely explicitly and implicitly on continuous perception. However, continuous perception is challenged ...

A Novel Bridge Section Model Endowed with Actively Controlled Flap Arrays Mitigating Wind Impact

Alcherio Martinoli, Klara Maria Boberg, Glauco Feltrin

In this work, we present the SmartBridge, a novel bridge section model equipped with actively controlled arrays of flaps aiming at mitigating wind-induced vibrations of long-span bridges. The active model, as well as its support structure, is described in ...

Analytic derivation of the (k/j)-order modulation envelopes in the sum of two mistuned (co)sine waves

Isaac Amidror

The beating effects which may occur in the sum of two mistuned cosine (or sine) functions whose frequencies f1, f2 satisfy f2 ≈ (k/j)f1 (where k/j is a reduced integer ratio) are known as “beats of mistuned consonances”. They have already been investigated ...

Statistical structure of neural spiking under non-Poissonian stimulation

Tilo Schwalger

Can we understand the interspike interval (ISI) statistics of spontaneous neural activity? What is the relation between input and output statistics of a neuron? --> Important for understanding population activity. Most theoretical studies assume that neuro ...

Tonotopic organization in monkey and human auditory cortex using phase-encoded functional MRI

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Naghmeh Ghazaleh, Gaëlle Chapuis

Tonotopic organization is the main topographic feature of the primary auditory cortex. Importantly, tonotopy allows to define borders of cortical areas as reversals of the frequency gradient (i.e the spatial derivative of the preferred frequency map). Very ...

Syllable-based Pitch Encoding for Low Bit Rate Speech Coding with Recognition/Synthesis Architecture

Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Current HMM-based low bit rate speech coding systems work with phonetic vocoders. Pitch contour coding (on frame or phoneme level) is usually fairly orthogonal to other speech coding parameters. We make an assumption in our work that the speech signal cont ...
