Automatic Characterization of Digital Music for Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation
نویسنده
چکیده
A computational rhythm analysis system is proposed to characterize the suitability of musical recordings for rhythmic auditory stimulation, a neurologic music therapy technique that uses rhythm to entrain periodic physical motion. Current applications of RAS are limited by the general inability to take advantage of the enormous amount of digital music that exists today. The system aims to identify motor-rhythmic music for the entrainment of neuromuscular activity for rehabilitation and exercise, motivating the concept of musical “use-genres.” This work builds upon prior research in meter and tempo analysis to establish a representation of rhythm chroma and alternatively describe beat spectra.

Effectiveness of Music Therapy on Sustained Attention and Selective Attention in Children with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of music therapy on sustained attention and selective attention in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder who referred to psycholog...
متن کاملParkinson’s Disease Gait Kinematics: Effects of Cadence- Setting through Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation
Significant changes in gait cycle parameters have been observed in individuals with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) during walking to rhythmically accentuated music (McIntosh et al., 1997; Thaut et al., 1996). These findings are consistent with previous studies that concluded that persons with PD compensate for basal ganglia malfunction by relying more heavily on external cues to guide movement, even ...
متن کاملListening to Rhythmic Music Reduces Connectivity within the Basal Ganglia and the Reward System
Music can trigger emotional responses in a more direct way than any other stimulus. In particular, music-evoked pleasure involves brain networks that are part of the reward system. Furthermore, rhythmic music stimulates the basal ganglia and may trigger involuntary movements to the beat. In the present study, we created a continuously playing rhythmic, dance floor-like composition where the amb...
متن کاملThe Effect of Vibroacoustic Stimulation and Music on Fetal Movement
Introduction Fetal movement started at the 7th weeks of pregnancy and by the end of pregnancy will gradually be perfect and harmonious. Near-term fetuses can discriminate acoustic features, such as frequencies and spectra, and process complex auditory streams. In this study, we aimed to evaluate fatal movement in response to music and vibration stimulation. Materials and Methods This study is a...
متن کاملHomayoun as a Persian Music Scale on Non-Musician’s Brain: an fMRI Study
Introduction: The aim of this study was to get to a neurological evaluation of one of the Persian music scales, Homayoun, on brain activation of non-musician subjects. We selected this scale because Homayoun is one of the main scales in Persian classical music which is similar to minor mode in western scales. Methods: This study was performed on 19 right handed subjects, Aging 22-31. Here some ...
