Authentic identities - Straightedge subculture, music, and the internet
In this article, the author examines the relative roles of music and the internet for self-identifying members of the straightedge youth subculture. For nearly 30 years, subcultures have been conceptualized primarily in terms of music and style. Participa
The effects of synchronous music on 400-m sprint performance
The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of motivating and oudeterous ( neither motivating nor demotivating) synchronous music on 400-m sprint performance while controlling for the potential confound of pre-performance mood. A panel of volun
Effect of music on power, pain, depression and disability
Aim. This paper reports a study testing the effect of music on power, pain, depression and disability, and comparing the effects of researcher-provided music (standard music) with subject-preferred music (patterning music). Backround. Chronic non-malignan
From emotion perception to emotion experience:: Emotions evoked by pictures and classical music
Most previous neurophysiological studies evoked emotions by presenting visual stimuli. Models of the emotion circuits in the brain have for the most part ignored emotions arising from musical stimuli. To our knowledge, this is the first emotion brain stud
The influence of rhythm and personality in the endurance response to motivational asynchronous music
In this study, we examined participants' responses to motivational asynchronous music by isolating rhythmical properties and exploring personality correlates. Fifty-eight physically active participants (41 men and 17 women) aged 22.3 +/- 6.4 years perfor
Synesthesia and common recognition concerning music and colour
This paper discusses the common recognition of music and colour from the viewpoint of synesthesia. The focus is especially placed on coloured hearing synesthesia. Coloured hearing synesthestesia experiences a crossing of senses where a brain recognizes mu
Rhythm in music: What is it? Who has it? And why?
THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES HUMAN rhythmic abilities and behaviors within a framework of evolutionary theory highlighting the need for research in this area to be grounded upon solid psychologically valid definitions of rhythm. A wide-ranging cross-species comp
Pure amusia reavealing an ischaemic lesion of right temporal planum - Participation of the right tem
Amusia is the impaired perception and performance of music due to brain lesions that do not affect motor or sensory skills. Amusia is usually associated with other neuropsychological disorders. We report an exceptional case of pure amusia of sudden onset
Developmental robotics, optimal artificial curiosity, creativity, music, and the fine arts
Even in the absence of external reward, babies and scientists and others explore their world. Using some sort of adaptive predictive world model, they improve their ability to answer questions such as what happens if I do this or that? They lose interest
The changing digital content landscape - An evaluation of e-business model development in European o
Purpose - To provide an empirically based analysis and evaluation of the existing and possible future evolution of Internet business models within the digital content market, focusing particularly on the possibilities for cooperation and coopetition withi
Efficacy of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in protecting ears exposed to loud music
Antioxidants have been reported to be effective in reducing acoustic trauma in animal models but have not been studied in humans. In this study, the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was evaluated to determine if it would reduce temporary changes in audi
An effective music information retrieval method using three-dimensional continuous DP
This paper describes a music information retrieval system that uses humming as the key for retrieval. Humming is an easy way for a user to input a melody. However, there are several problems with humming that degrade the retrieval of information. One prob
Significance of Broca's area and ventral premotor cortex for music-syntactic processing
This paper suggests that a cortical network comprising inferior frontolateral cortex [IFLC, corresponding to Brodmann's area (BA),44], ventrolateral premotor cortex (vIPMC), and anterior superior temporal gyrus (aSTG) is involved in. the processing of mu
Influence of prenatal noise and music on the spatial memory and neurogenesis in the hippocampus of d
During the prenatal period, the development of individual is influenced by the environmental factors. In the present study, the influence of prenatal noise and music on the spatial memory and neurogenesis in the hippocampus of developing rats was investig
Note segmentation and quantization for music information retrieval
Much research in music information retrieval has focused on query-by-humming systems, which search melodic databases using sung queries. The database retrieval aspect of such systems has received considerable attention, but query processing and the melodi
