How Does Music Elicit Emotions?

How does a brain build a cognitive code?

This article indicates how competition between afferent data and learned feedback expectancies can stabilize a developing code by buffering committed populations of detectors against continual erosion by new environmental demands. The gating phenomena that result lead to dynamically maintained critical periods, and to attentional phenomena such as overshadowing in the adult. The functional unit...

Quality of Music Classification Systems: How to build the Reference?

The quality of classification systems is usually measured in correct classification performance: compare the predicted classes of test items with their predefined classes (ground truth). This paper discusses a number of requirements and considerations that are important for a proper design of a ground truth database in the context of music classification. Two examples will show how the recommen...

How does the brain process music?

The organisation of the musical brain is a major focus of interest in contemporary neuroscience. This reflects the increasing sophistication of tools (especially imaging techniques) to examine brain anatomy and function in health and disease, and the recognition that music provides unique insights into a number of aspects of nonverbal brain function. The emerging picture is complex but coherent...

Towards a Pragmatic Use of Ontologies in Multi-agent Platforms

The knowledge representation field is gaining momentum with the advent of the Semantic Web activity within the W3C. This working group, thanks to previous researches, has proposed the Ontology Web Language to enhance the expressivity of web pages and to allow semantic inferences. This paper argues that knowledge representation technologies should be core components of multi-agent platforms. In ...
