What: We are developing a cross-modal binding mechanism for a humanoid robot (Figure 1) to recognize rythmically moving objects such as tools or toys. Our approach uses the motion of the objects, the sound they make, and the relation between the motion and sound. We have demonstrated selectivity and robustness in the face of distracting motion and sounds. Our method does not require prior sound...

In recent years, a significant body of research has focused on challenges to neural connectivity as a key to understanding autism. In contrast to attempts to identify a single static, primarily brain-based deficit, children and adults diagnosed with autism are increasingly perceived as out of sync with their internal and external environments in dynamic ways that must also involve operations of...

Purpose: In this modern jazz composition entitled “Perspektif”, composers were exploiting 3 major aspects of music, which is: rhythm, melody and harmony. The main purpose in piece is to persuade other not only think creatively but maximize research deeply all the basic music. Research Methods: Modern music can’t be separated from old school classical key making innovative creative was by learni...

Music is the art of organizing sounds at right time through melody, harmony, rhythm, and characteristics specific sound instruments. If this to be understood by ordinary people in general, ears a force that penetrates heart our pulses veins causes subconscious mind meditate. How has such music been used devotion, how it used, what are changes have taken place due them, even though can seen many...

A variety of approaches exist to the automatic retrieval of the key part within a musical piece its thumbnail. Most of these however do not use adequate modeling with respect to either harmony or rhythm. In this work we therefore introduce thumbnailing that aims at adequate musical feature modeling. The rhythmic structure is extracted to obtain a segmentation based on beats and bars by an IIR c...

This paper motivates a multi-modal approach for analysis of aesthetic elements of films through integration of visual and auditory features. Prior work in characterizing aesthetic elements of film has predominantly focused on visual features. We present comparison of analysis from multiple modalities in a rhythm extraction task. For detection of important events based on a model of rhythm/tempo...

Phillips-Silver and Trainor (Phillips-Silver, J., Trainor, L.J., (2005). Feeling the beat: movement influences infants' rhythm perception. Science, 308, 1430) demonstrated an early cross-modal interaction between body movement and auditory encoding of musical rhythm in infants. Here we show that the way adults move their bodies to music influences their auditory perception of the rhythm structu...

The connection between architecture and science and sound based on mathematical relations has continued to develop[ since the rise of the Western classical civilization that originated in Ancient Greece. The mysterious Pythagorean cosmology pursued as secret esoteric knowledge was related to the search of rhythm, proportionality and harmony. Even somewhat earlier, Greek mysteries were based on ...
