Probabilistic Model of Pianists' Arm Touch Movements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurement of pianists’ arm movement provides a signal, which is composed of controlled movements and noise. The noise is composed of uncontrolled movement generated by the interaction of the arm with the piano action and measurement error. We propose a probabilistic model for arm touch movements, which allows to estimate the amount of noise in a joint. This estimation helps to interpret the movement signal, which is of interest for augmented piano and piano pedagogy applications.

Spatiotemporal integration for tactile localization during arm movements: a probabilistic approach.
It has been shown that people make systematic errors in the localization of a brief tactile stimulus that is delivered to the index finger while they are making an arm movement. Here we modeled these spatial errors with a probabilistic approach, assuming that they follow from temporal uncertainty about the occurrence of the stimulus. In the model, this temporal uncertainty converts into a spati...
متن کاملDistinct Inter-Joint Coordination during Fast Alternate Keystrokes in Pianists with Superior Skill
Musical performance requires motor skills to coordinate the movements of multiple joints in the hand and arm over a wide range of tempi. However, it is unclear whether the coordination of movement across joints would differ for musicians with different skill levels and how inter-joint coordination would vary in relation to music tempo. The present study addresses these issues by examining the k...
متن کاملInvestigating pianists' individuality in the performance of five timbral nuances through patterns of articulation, touch, dynamics, and pedaling
Timbre is an essential expressive feature in piano performance. Concert pianists use a vast palette of timbral nuances to color their performances at the microstructural level. Although timbre is generally envisioned in the pianistic community as an abstract concept carried through an imaged vocabulary, performers may share some common strategies of timbral expression in piano performance. Yet ...
متن کاملCortical activations in primary and secondary motor areas for complex bimanual movements in professional pianists.
Hemodynamic responses were measured applying functional magnetic resonance imaging in two professional piano players and two carefully matched non-musician control subjects during the performance of self-paced bimanual and unimanual tapping tasks. The bimanual tasks were chosen because they resemble typical movements pianists have to generate during piano exercises. The results showed that the ...
متن کاملTransmodal Sensorimotor Networks during Action Observation in Professional Pianists
Audiovisual perception and imitation are essential for musical learning and skill acquisition. We compared professional pianists to musically naive controls with fMRI while observing piano playing finger-hand movements and serial finger-thumb opposition movements both with and without synchronous piano sound. Pianists showed stronger activations within a fronto-parieto-temporal network while ob...
