Dissonant Numbers

چکیده
The Mersenne Twister is a 623-dimensionally equidistributed variant of the twisted generalized feedback shift register operating in 623 dimensions [6]. It is quite fast and produces a sequence of pseudo-random numbers with an enormous period and uniform distribution, which makes it suitable for use in simulations. However, the Mersenne twister is not suitable for cryptographic use: by analyzing a sufficiently large size of the output, the state of the algorithm can be predicted by a simple linear transformation [6]. Even so, the Mersenne Twister algorithm is perfectly suited for large-scale statistical simulation.

Neural Transformation of Dissonant Intervals in the Auditory Brainstem
ACOUSTIC PERIODICITY IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR for discriminating consonant and dissonant intervals. While previous studies have found that the periodicity of musical intervals is temporally encoded by neural phase locking throughout the auditory system, how the nonlinearities of the auditory pathway influence the encoding of periodicity and how this effect is related to sensory consonance has bee...
متن کاملA Few More Words About James Tenney: Dissonant Counterpoint and Statistical Feedback
This paper discusses a compositional algorithm, important in many of the works of James Tenney, which models a melodic principle known as dissonant counterpoint. The technique synthesizes two apparently disparate musical ideas—dissonant counterpoint and statistical feedback— and has a broad range of applications to music which employs nondeterministic (i.e. randomized) methods. First, we descri...
متن کاملTonal consonance and critical bandwidth.
firstly, theories are reviewed on the explanation of tonal consonance as the singular nature of tone intervals with frequency ratios corresponding with small integer numbers. An evaluation of these explanations in the light of some experimental studies supports the hypothesis, as promoted by von Helmholtz, that the difference between consonant and dissonant intervals is related to beats of adja...
متن کاملRegularity of spike trains and harmony perception in a model of the auditory system.
Spike train regularity of the noisy neural auditory system model under the influence of two sinusoidal signals with different frequencies is investigated. For the increasing ratio m/n of the input signal frequencies (m, n are natural numbers) the linear growth of the regularity is found at the fixed difference (m - n). It is shown that the spike train regularity in the model is high for harmoni...
متن کاملInfants’ Perception of Consonance and Dissonance in Music
The origins of the perception of consonance and dissonance in music are a matter of debate. The present study examined the hypothesis of an innate preferential bias favoring consonance over dissonance by exposing 4 month old infants to consonant and dissonant versions of two melodies. Infants looked significantly longer at the source of sound and were less motorically active to consonant compar...
