The results of this project have multiple applications. Determining optimal preview clips can help potential customers select music before purchasing it and also allow users to quickly scan through the pieces of a playlist to ensure continuity. Tagging music with its representative clip allows computers to present music search results to users in a more native, informative format than just word...

INTRODUCTION Cochlear implantation (CI) improves language skills among children with hearing loss. However, children with CIs still fall short of fulfilling some other needs, including musical perception. This is often attributed to the biological, technological, and acoustic limitations of CIs. Emotions play a key role in the understanding and enjoyment of music. The present study aimed to inv...

In this paper, a Multiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) -based approach, Time-Space-Time MUSIC (TST-MUSIC), i s proposed to jointly estimate the directions of arrival (DOAs) and the propagation delays of a wireless multipath channel. The MUSIC algorithms for the DOA and propagation delay estimation are referred to as the S-MUSIC and T-MUSIC algorithms, respectively. By using the space-time char...

Making music is a powerful way of engaging multisensory and motor networks, inducing changes within these networks and linking together distant brain regions. These multimodal effects of music making together with music’s ability to tap into the emotion and reward system in the brain can be used to facilitate therapy and rehabilitation of neurological disorders. In this article, we review short...

Making music is a powerful way of engaging a multisensory and motor network and inducing changes and linking brain regions within this network. These multimodal effects of music making together with music’s ability to tap into the emotion and reward system in the brain can be used to facilitate therapy and rehabilitation of neurological disorders.

retrieval models within music and music/audio formats that makes use of XML documents as content descriptors. In this article, it is described how music/audio semantics can be actually represented within the Structural Layer of IEEE 1599, thanks to the introduction of novel Music Information Retrieval (MIR) objects that can be exploited by music search engines. A complete description of MIR obj...

YouTube is the largest, most popular video digital library in existence, and is quite possibly the most popular digital library regardless of format type. Furthermore, music videos are one of the primary applications of YouTube. Based on our experiences of linking to music videos in YouTube, we observed that while any single URI had a short half-life, music videos were always available at anoth...

The question of how musical training can influence perceptual and cognitive abilities of children has been the subject of numerous past studies. However, evidence showing which neural mechanisms underlie changes in cognitive skills in another domain following musical training has remained sparse. Syntax processing in language and music has been shown to rely on overlapping neural resources, and...
