+MUS 110 Cr.3 The Listening Experience in Music An introductory course to music listening, with emphasis on methods of perceiving and understanding musical information. Topics include factors in listening, recognition of musical elements and other concepts which contribute to aural perception, and understanding the influence of musical context. The course content will include representative exa...

Recent case studies have suggested that emotion perception and emotional experience of music have independent cognitive processing. We report a patient who showed selective impairment of emotional experience only in listening to music, that is musical anhednia. A 71-year-old right-handed man developed an infarction in the right parietal lobe. He found himself unable to experience emotion in lis...

People who play videogames often report the sense of immersion in the game with a particular feature of immersion being a loss of the sense of time passing. In this paper, we investigate if altering the degree of immersion in a videogame really does influence people’s psychological perception of time passing. We use music to make a maze game more immersive and we measure time perception using t...

We examined the relations among phonological awareness, music perception skills, and early reading skills in a population of 100 4- and 5-year-old children. Music skills were found to correlate significantly with both phonological awareness and reading development. Regression analyses indicated that music perception skills contributed unique variance in predicting reading ability, even when var...

introduction: music can elicit powerful emotional responses, the neural correlates of which have not been properly understood. an important aspect about the quality of any musical piece is its ability to elicit a sense of excitement in the listeners. in this study, we investigated the neural correlates of boredom evoked by music in human subjects. methods: we used eeg recording in nine subjects...

The classical, disembodied approach to music cognition conceptualizes action and perception as separate, peripheral processes. In contrast, embodied accounts of music cognition emphasize the central role of the close coupling of action and perception. It is a commonly established fact that perception spurs action tendencies. We present a theoretical framework that captures the ways in which the...

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 ...

The association between music and language, in particular, the overlap in their processing results in the possibility to use one domain for the enhancement of the other. Especially in the preschool years music may be a valuable tool to train language abilities (e.g., precursors of reading). Therefore, detailed knowledge about associations between musical abilities and precursors of reading can ...
