Languis Dr. David Butler f Music Dr. Judith K. Delzell Co-Advisor, School of Music Richard L. Blatti Copyright by Elizabeth Helene Jackson 1994 “There is a distinct class of musical philosophers, whom we may call the scientists of the present day; men whose researches as physicists have led them into a special inquiry into the natural laws and phenomena of sound. To this class belong Wheatstone, Tyndal, Blasema, and many others whose names must be familiar to every reader of contemporary musical literature. But undoubtably the most distinguished amongst musical scientists is Helmholtz, the German physicist and physician, whose work Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen, recently translated into English by Mr. A. J. Ellis, has opened, as it were, a new world to the view of the musician. It may be said that the art of music profits little by these physical discoveries; but while the science is still in its infancy, we cannot predicate with certainty concerning the result of all this recent research. It may be that, at any moment, while the pen is in the hand, or the lips are moved to speech, some sudden burst of light, some new and splendid apocalypse, shall, by the instrumentality of science, irradiate the whole world of music, revealing forms of beauty, and spheres of vision, hitherto beclouded or unknown.” from A Concise History of Music 1897 H.G.

  • Research on Light and Sound
    Research on light and sound Welcome! I’ve spent the last five years reading all the available research on mind machines – and now I’ve pulled together the most accessible of this information as a way to encourage you to try this technology yourself. Mind machines are referred to in these reports in a number of ways: • BWS (Brainwave Synchronisers) • LS (light and sound devices) • AVS (audio visual stimulation) • Photic stimulation All refer to the same technology which is built into our range of mind machines. All our mind machines can generate all the frequencies mentioned in these reports. I’ve condensed some of the reports for readability – and because some of the data is repeated. For example I’ve taken out three paragraphs from the extract from Megabrain Power as the original full reports are included here. I’ve had the very good fortune to spend time with many of the people mentioned in these pages: Robert Austin, Tom Budzynski, Michael Hutchison, Julian Isaacs, Harold Russell and David Siever – all thorough and committed researchers at the cutting edge of peak performance technology. Have a great read. You don’t need to understand it all. I just hope you read enough to see for yourself that mind machines really do work, and you’re encouraged to try a unit in your own home, using our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Human mirror neuron system is believed to provide the basic mechanism for social cognition. Mirror neurons were first discovered in 1990s in the premotor area (F5) of macaque monkeys. Besides the premotor area, mirror neuron systems, having different functions depending on their locations, are found in various cortical areas. In addition, the importance of cingulate cortex in mother-infant relationship is clearly emphasized in the literature. Functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, transcortical magnetic stimulation are the modalities used to evaluate the, activity of mirror neurons; for instance, mu wave suppression in electroencephalo- graphy recordings is considered as an evidence of mirror neuron activity. Mirror neurons have very important functions such as language processing, comprehension, learning, social interaction and empathy. For example, autistic individuals have less mirror neuron activity; therefore, it is thought that they have less ability of empathy. Responses of mirror neurons to object-directed and non-object directed actions are different and non-object directed action is required for the activa- tion of mirror neurons. Previous researchers find significantly more suppression during the ob- servation of object-directed movements as compared to mimed actions.

  • Conducting Studies Conference 2016
    Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24th – 26th June St Anne’s College University of Oxford Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24-26 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute Conducting Studies Conference 2016. The conference brings together 44 speakers from around the globe presenting on a wide range of topics demonstrating the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The practice of conducting has significant impact on music-making across a wide variety of ensembles and musical contexts. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting masterclasses and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, there has yet to be a space where this knowledge has been brought together and explored as a cohesive topic. The OCI Conducting Studies Conference aims to redress this by bringing together practitioners and researchers into productive dialogue, promoting practice as research and raising awareness of the state of research in the field of conducting studies. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and serve as a lightning rod for the further development of conducting studies research.

It begins with a case study – the story of one applica- tion of the device involving a young man with cerebral palsy. His experiences are typical of many others and provide some useful generalisations. The article then discusses a number of goals and related design principles that have been important in the development of the device, including a discussion of two confl icting strategies which must be reconciled: On the one hand, there is a need for clear causality. On the other hand, for such a device to remain interesting over time, there is a need for variation. A technical description of the hardware and software is given, followed by a discussion of general mapping issues pertaining to the different sound environments or interaction modes of the MC. Introduction 12-year-old Adam has just arrived with his mother. His assistant is accompanying them and has been helpful in getting Adam and his wheelchair out of the car.

Demos University of Connecticut, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Recommended Citation Demos, Alexander P., "The eP rception of Movement through Musical Sound: Towards a Dynamical Systems Theory of Music Performance" (2013). Doctoral Dissertations. 155. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/155 The Perception of Movement through Musical Sound: Towards a Dynamical Systems Theory of Music Performance Alexander Pantelis Demos, PhD University of Connecticut, 2013 Performers’ ancillary body movements, which are generally thought to support sound- production, appear to be related to musical structure and musical expression. Uncovering systematic relationships has, however, been difficult. Researchers have used the framework of embodied gestures, adapted from language research, to categorize and analyze performer’s movements. I have taken a different approach, conceptualizing ancillary movements as continuous actions in space-time within a dynamical systems framework. The framework predicts that the movements of the performer will be complexly, but systematically, related to the musical movement and that listeners will be able to hear both the metaphorical motion implied by the musical structure and the real movements of the performer. In three experiments, I adapted a set of statistical, time-series, and dynamical systems tools to music performance research to examine these predictions. In Experiment 1, I used force plate measurements to examine the postural sway of two trombonists playing two solo pieces with different musical structures in different expressive styles (normal, expressive, non-expressive).

  • The Neural Basis of the Dynamic Unconscious
    Neuropsychoanalysis, 2011, 13 (1) 5 The Neural Basis of the Dynamic Unconscious Heather A. Berlin (New York) A great deal of complex cognitive processing occurs at the unconscious level and affects how humans behave, think, and feel. Sci- entists are only now beginning to understand how this occurs on the neural level. Understanding the neural basis of consciousness requires an account of the neural mechanisms that underlie both conscious and unconscious thought, and their dynamic interac- tion. For example, how do conscious impulses, thoughts, or desires become unconscious (e.g., repression) or, conversely, how do unconscious impulses, desires, or motives become conscious (e.g., Freudian slips)? Research taking advantage of advances in technologies, like functional magnetic resonance imaging, has led to a revival and re-conceptualization of some of the key concepts of psychoanalytic theory, but steps toward understanding their neural basis have only just commenced. According to psychoanalytic theory, unconscious dynamic processes defensively remove anxiety-provoking thoughts and impulses from consciousness in re- sponse to one’s conflicting attitudes. The processes that keep unwanted thoughts from entering consciousness include repression, suppression, and dissociation. In this literature review, studies from psychology and cognitive neuroscience in both healthy and patient populations that are beginning to elucidate the neural basis of these phenomena are discussed and organized within a con- ceptual framework. Further studies in this emerging field at the intersection of psychoanalytic theory and neuroscience are needed. Keywords: unconscious; psychodynamic; repression; suppression; dissociation; neural “Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.” 1998a). Early psychodynamic theorists attempted to Ludwig Wittgenstein [1889–1951] explain phenomena observed in the clinic, but lat- er cognitive scientists used computational models of the mind to explain empirical data.
