Personal Experiences of Non-verbal Communication Through Musical Dialogue (Clinical Improvisation)

Gaining Compliance through Non-Verbal Communication

Improving Medical Students’ Awareness of Their Non-Verbal Communication through Automated Non-Verbal Behavior Feedback

The non-verbal communication of clinicians has an impact on patients’ satisfaction and health outcomes. Yet medical students are not receiving enough training on the appropriate non-verbal behaviors in clinical consultations. Computer vision techniques have been used for detecting different kinds of non-verbal behaviors, and they can be incorporated in educational systems that help medical stud...

The neuroscience of musical improvisation.

Researchers have recently begun to examine the neural basis of musical improvisation, one of the most complex forms of creative behavior. The emerging field of improvisation neuroscience has implications not only for the study of artistic expertise, but also for understanding the neural underpinnings of domain-general processes such as motor control and language production. This review synthesi...

Towards Co-Evolutionary Musical Improvisation

This paper describes a work in progress on coevolving Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for music improvisation. Using this neuro-evolutionary approach the ANNs adapt to the changes in the human player’s music as input, while still maintaining some of the structure of the musical piece previously evolved. The system is called P R I M A L I M P R O V and evolves modules that are composed of two ...
