Chords have a role in music for emotional expression, and the generated melodies more richness through constraining effect of chords. In this paper, based on GAN network generation model chord features, GRU is used feature extraction order to autonomously learn chords at 1 : t − moments generate moments, by saving hidden layer state each batch constructing combined with generator, thus achievin...

Neural encoding of abstract rules in the audition of newborn infants has been recently demonstrated in several studies using event-related potentials (ERPs). In the present study the neural encoding of Western music chords was investigated in newborn infants. Using ERPs, we examined whether the categorizations of major vs. minor and consonance vs. dissonance are present at the level of the chan...

This study investigated the perceived harmonic relationships between the chords that belong to three closely related musical keys: a major key, the major key built on its dominant, and the relative minor key. Multidimensional scaling and hierarchical clustering techniques applied to judgments of two-chord progressions showed a central core consisting of those chords that play primary harmonic f...

Melodies and chords compose a basic music piece. Assigning chords for a music melody is an important step in music composition. This project is to apply machine learning techniques to assign chords to follow several measures of melody and generate pleasant music pieces. In real music chord assignment process, to choose which chord to use for a measure, musicians normally consider the notes in t...

BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) false chordae tendinae (false chords) have been implicated as a source of idiopathic left (IL) ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, it is unknown whether pretest bias contributes to an apparent association with disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of false chords on direct inspection of the LV endocardium. METHODS In a prospecti...

At the level of the auditory cortex, musicians discriminate pitch changes more accurately than nonmusicians. However, it is not agreed upon how sound familiarity and musical expertise interact in the formation of pitch-change discrimination skills, that is, whether musicians possess musical pitch discrimination abilities that are generally more accurate than in nonmusicians or, alternatively, w...

The chords’ problem is a variant of an old problem of computational geometry: given a set of points of , one can easily build the multiset of the distances between the points of the set but the converse construction is known for a longtime as difficult. The problem that we are going to investigate is also a converse construction with the difference that it no more the one of the distances multi...

To date, no consensus exists in the literature as to theories of consonance and dissonance. Experimental data collected over the last century have raised questions about the dominant theories that are based on frequency relationships between the harmonics of music chords. This study provides experimental evidence that strongly challenges these theories and suggests a new theory of dissonance ba...

The present study addressed the effects of musicianship on neural and behavioral discrimination of Western music chords. In abstract oddball paradigms, minor chords and inverted major chords were presented in the context of major chords to musician and non-musician participants in a passive listening task (with EEG recordings) and in an active discrimination task. Both sinusoidal sounds and har...

One challenge relating to the creation of adaptive music involves generating transitions between musical ideas. This paper proposes a solution to this problem based on a modification of the Q-Learning framework described by Reese, Yampolskiy and Elmaghraby. The proposed solution represents chords as states in a domain and generates a transition between any two major or minor chords by finding a...
