introduction: the pain produced by intravenous (iv) cannulation is the most important incident associated with invasive ways experienced by every young patient. however, there are some techniques that can be used to reduce the severity of the pain. therefore, this study examines the effects of two methods of relaxation and distraction techniques- music and rhythmic berating on the pain reductio...

Moving to music is intuitive and spontaneous, and music is widely used to support movement, most commonly during exercise. Auditory cues are increasingly also used in the rehabilitation of disordered movement, by aligning actions to sounds such as a metronome or music. Here, the effect of rhythmic auditory cueing on movement is discussed and representative findings of cued movement rehabilitati...

We present a method for characterizing both the rhythm and tempo of music. We also present ways to quantitatively measure the rhythmic similarity between two or more works of music. This allows rhythmically similar works to be retrieved from a large collection. A related application is to sequence music by rhythmic similarity, thus providing an automatic " disc jockey " function for musical lib...

Objectives: Upper limb motor impairment causes limited activities of daily living in stroke survivors. Bimanual therapy is based on Bimanual movement that facilitates cortical balancing by simultaneous movement of paretic and non-paretic arms while performing a task. Studies aimed at exploring the effects of resisted Bimanual therapy with rhythmic auditory cues on arm function, balance, and end...

Entrainment is defined by a temporal locking process in which one system's motion or signal frequency entrains the frequency of another system. This process is a universal phenomenon that can be observed in physical (e.g., pendulum clocks) and biological systems (e.g., fire flies). However, entrainment can also be observed between human sensory and motor systems. The function of rhythmic entrai...

The origins of music and musical emotions is still an enigma, here I propose a comprehensive hypothesis on the origins and evolution of music, dance, and speech from a biological and sociological perspective. I suggest that every pitch interval between neighboring notes in music represents corresponding movement pattern through interpreting the Doppler effect of sound, which not only provides a...

urban design is a multidisciplinary field, consisting of both science and art. the physical aspect together with the non-physical aspects related to human – like meaning and function – along with the presence of human beings, make a successful and dynamic place to be used by people in a good way. undoubtedly, culture as a response of a society to its requirements and a means to ensure the quali...

through close scrutiny of the odessa steps sequence in sergei eisenstein's 1924 film, battleship potemkin, this article argues that the rhythmic editing of the film demands accompanying music based on the same rhythmic system. since eisenstein had a musical structure in mind for the editing of this sequence, composers of film music tasked themselves with expressing his rhythmic visual patt...

There is a tight link between the rhythm of external auditory information and movement. This can be observed when we spontaneously or deliberately move on the beat of music (e.g., dancing) or while performing physical activities (e.g., running) by listening music. Synchronization with rhythm is something natural, developed very precociously and hard-wired. In this study, we exploit this compell...
