As the high-capacity data storage devices (e.g. portable hard drives, and USB flash drives) become available to everyone, musicians are able to record all of their rehearsals and save them digitally. Given large amount of unlabeled and unorganized rehearsal recordings, manually organizing them can be a huge task. Therefore, managing music audio databases for practicing musicians automatically i...

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a fundamental role in internally guided behavior. Although it is generally accepted that PFC subserves working memory and executive control operations, it remains unclear whether the subregions within lateral PFC support distinct executive control processes. An event-related fMRI study was implemented to test the hypothesis that ventrolateral and dorsolateral P...

Objective: To assess the effect of patient-specific virtual reality rehearsal (PsR) before endovascular infrarenal aneurysm repair (EVAR) on technical performance and procedural errors. Background: Endovascular procedures, including EVAR, are executed in a complex multidisciplinary environment, often treating high-risk patients. Consequently, this may lead to patient harm and procedural ineffic...

This article reports 3 experiments that tested a hypothesis regarding the nature of rehearsal in spatial working memory, one in which discrete shifts of spatial selective attention mediate the maintenance of location-specific representations. Experiment 1 demonstrated increases in visual processing efficiency for locations held in working memory, which suggested that attention was oriented towa...

asynchronous transfer mode-based environment for distributed musical rehearsals in an immersive teleconference environment. This article describes the technical specifications of the installations and the organization and studio setup of these rehearsals. We present our implementation of the environment and give the results obtained from the organized distributed musical rehearsal trials. T he ...

lias been effectively decreased by these 2 conditions, whether interference conditions were presented separately or in conjunction with each other. Therefore, it can be concluded from those experiments that preventing verbal rehearsal by counting backward and displacing items from the rehearsal buffer by an auditory probe constitute independent processes in the STM system, each contributing a g...

Abstract The present study aimed to examine the specific relations between five motivational regulation strategies (i.e., interest enhancement, environmental control, self-consequating, performance self-talk, mastery self-talk), academic self-concept, and three cognitive learning organization, elaboration, rehearsal) of 415 university students. A total n = 238 students were in first year their ...

Professional operatic singing can be performed technically for practice and rehearsal, or with heightened emotion through intention to communicate with an audience. Previous studies of respiration in operatic singing have not taken into account the professional performer’s ability to differentiate at will between rehearsal and performance modes of singing. The aim of this thesis is to investiga...
