Here we addressed this issue systematically in two expert musicians with clinical diagnoses of semantic dementia and Alzheimer's disease, in comparison with a control group of healthy expert musicians. In a series of neur...
متن کاملEmotional Predisposition of Musical Instrument Timbres with Static Spectra
Music is one of the strongest triggers of emotions. Recent studies have shown strong emotional predispositions for musical instrument timbres. They have also shown significant correlations between spectral centroid and many emotions. Our recent study on spectral centroid-equalized tones further suggested that the even/odd harmonic ratio is a salient timbral feature after attack time and brightn...

متن کاملPredicting Time-Varying Musical Emotion Distributions from Multi-Track Audio
Music exists primarily as a medium for the expression of emotions, but quantifying such emotional content empirically proves a very difficult task. Myriad features comprise emotion, and as such music theory provides no rigorous foundation for analysis (e.g. key, mode, tempo, harmony, timbre, and loudness all play some roll), and the weight of individual musical features may vary due to the expr...
