Computer music analysis is investigated, with speciic reference to the current research elds of automatic music transcription, human music perception, pitch determination, note and stream segmentation, score generation, time-frequency analysis techniques, and musical grammars. Human music perception is investigated from two perspectives: the computational model perspective desires an algorithm ...

INTRODUCTION Moral desires are embodied in markets. This article analyzes the implications for corporate governance of the existence of morality within consumer and capital markets. Analysis of the role of moral desires within markets represents a new way of looking at the long-standing debate concerning the social responsibility of corporations. The focus of this article is normative, that is,...

The ability to represent desires and intentions as two distinct mental states was investigated in patients with parietal (N=8) and frontal (N=6) lesions and in age-matched controls (N=7). A task was used where the satisfaction of the desire and the fulfilment of the intention did not co-vary and were manipulated in a 2 × 2 set. In two experiments we show that lesions to the frontal lobe may imp...

Deaf children frequently have trouble understanding other people's emotions. It has been suggested that an impaired theory of mind can account for this. This research focused on the spontaneous use of mental states in explaining other people's emotions by 6- and 10-year-old deaf children as compared to their hearing peers. Within both age-groups deaf children referred to others' beliefs as ofte...

In this paper, I will describe a formalism designed to integrate reasoning about desires with planning. One motive for such a formalism is the need to create a framework for reasoning about actions and change that provides for flexible reasoning about goals. The ideas rely on a crucial distinction between prima facie and all-things-considered attitudes. I model prima facie beliefs and desires a...

Abstract. This paper presents an agent-based model for decision making, which integrates personal biological and psychological aspects with rational utility-based reasoning. The model takes a BDI-based approach, where generation of desires is based on the personal characteristics, and generation of intentions is based on the rational reasoning. Moreover, a hypothetical reasoning mechanism is ex...

Humans' predictions of another person's behaviour are regularly influenced by what they themselves might know or want. In a previous study, we found that male Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) could cater for their female partner's current desire when sharing food with her. Here, we tested the extent to which the males' decisions are influenced by their own current desire. When the males' and...

Wheremost accounts of biotech in Taiwan—indeed, globally—focus on its economic potential and its potential to heal various ills, a postcolonial and subimperial framing insists on attention to often underexamined aspects, for example, how biotech practices reflect specific nationalist desires and rely on forms of exploitation. A postcolonial and subimperial framing insists on the inclusion of ot...

File-sharing has become very popular in recent years, but for many this has become synonymous with file-acquisition. However, there is strong evidence that people have strong giving (or gifting) desires. This suggests an opportunity for the development of gifting technologies – and it also suggests an important research challenge: what needs and concerns do gifters have and what technologies ca...

Researchers have long been interested in the relation between emotion understanding and theory of mind. This study investigates a cue to mental states that has rarely been investigated: the dynamics of valenced emotional expressions. When the valence of a character's facial expression was stable between an expected and observed outcome, children (N = 122; M = 5.0 years) recovered the character'...
