Real-Time Musical Beat Induction with Spiking Neural Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Beat induction is best described by analogy to the activities of hand clapping or foot tapping, and involves finding important metrical components in an auditory signal, usually music. Though beat induction is intuitively easy to understand it is difficult to define and still more difficult to perform automatically. We will present a model of beat induction that uses a spiking neural network as the underlying synchronization mechanism. This approach has some advantages over existing methods; it runs online, responds at many levels in the metrical hierarchy, and produces good results on performed music (Beatles piano performances encoded as MIDI).In this paper the model is described in some detail and simulation results are discussed.

Tempo Induction and Beat Tracking for Audio Signals
The process of beat tracking and tempo induction can be primarily defined in terms of the concepts of tempo and beat. Tempo refers to the rate at which a musical piece is played, and is represented in score time units per real time units (beat per minute being its most popular format). A beat can be defined as a unit in a sequence of impulses which represent the tempo of a musical piece. In fac...
متن کاملAssessing Neuroplasticity with Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks
When humans receive musical training, the neural substrates associated with production and processing of music undergo functional changes. This study investigates whether a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can identify changes in the neural dynamics of an adult that received musical training. Two different CCN architectures were trained on Magnetoencephalography (MEG) time-series from seven a...
متن کاملReal-time Beat-synchronous Analysis of Musical Audio
In this paper we present a model for beat-synchronous analysis of musical audio signals. Introducing a real-time beat tracking model with performance comparable to offline techniques, we discuss its application to the analysis of musical performances segmented by beat. We discuss the various design choices for beat-synchronous analysis and their implications for real-time implementations before...
متن کاملClassification of Iranian traditional musical modes (DASTGÄH) with artificial neural network
The concept of Iranian traditional musical modes, namely DASTGÄH, is the basis for the traditional music system. The concept introduces seven DASTGÄHs. It is not an easy process to distinguish these modes and such practice is commonly performed by an experienced person in this field. Apparently, applying artificial intelligence to do such classification requires a combination of the basic infor...
متن کاملHumanoid Robot Control Using Spiking Neural Networks
In recent years there has been an increasing amount of interest in spiking neural networks, which are more biologically realistic than rate based models. Whilst a lot of simulation work has been carried out on spiking neural networks, relatively little research has been done on the use of spiking neural networks to control robots in an environment. The main obstacle to the development of embodi...
