In the foregoing chapter we have seen that language and music have similar kinds of structures and processes, both at the level of phrasing and at the rhythmic level. The remainder of this dissertation is about phrasing and rhythm phenomena in speech, while we keep musical phrasing and rhythm as the background motivation for several speech phenomena. The current chapter gives a (non-exhaustive)...

Automatic synthesis of realistic co-speech gestures is an increasingly important yet challenging task in artificial embodied agent creation. Previous systems mainly focus on generating end-to-end manner, which leads to difficulties mining the clear rhythm and semantics due complex subtle harmony between speech gestures. We present a novel gesture method that achieves convincing results both sem...

Musical rhythm perception is a natural human ability that involves complex cognitive processes. Rhythm refers to the organization of events in time, and musical rhythms have an underlying hierarchical metrical structure. The metrical structure induces the feeling of a beat and the extent to which a rhythm induces the feeling of a beat is referred to as its metrical strength. Binary ratios are t...

Neural oscillations are electrical activities of the brain measurable at different frequencies. This paper studies interaction between fast and slow processes in brain. We recorded signals intracranially from simple Wistar rats, performed signal processing, computed correlation envelopes high-frequency gamma rhythm a low-frequency signal. The analysis shows that (delta rhythm) modulates with sm...

introduction many features, emerging from mathematical techniques, have been used in the analysis of brain signals. in this study, the physical quantity of “moment of inertia” (moi) was introduced as a feature to enhance high-frequency waves (hfws) in electroencephalography (eeg). materials and methods in this research, the recorded eegs from f3, f4, and cz points in 20 males were used. a total...

epic poetry is a sort of ancient literature which exists in most of the world's literatures such as roman, greek, indian and iranian; but arabic literature has not used this type of literature. major reasons for this are as follows: 1. lack of nationalistic sense 2. arabic poetry is mostly based on vocality 3. there haven't been real long term wars between arabs 4. arabic poetry has h...

background: trematodes belonging to the genus schistosoma cause schistosomiasis. the relationship between schistosomes and their intermediate hosts varies among snails. this study investigated the effects of s. japonicum on its snail host, oncomelania hupensis, and cercarial release rythmicity of s. japonicum and the effects of light on it. methods: : seven groups of o. hupensis (n = 40 each) w...

this paper describes the system design of a portable and economical mu rhythm based brain computer interface which employs cypress semiconductors programmable system on chip (psoc). by carrying out essential processing on the psoc, the use of an extra computer is eliminated, resulting in considerable cost savings. microsoft visual studio 2005 and psoc designer 5.01 are employed in developing th...
