The present research aimed to investigate the effect of background Mozart Classical music on translator students' performance. In this study, the researchers focused not only on the relationship between music and translation but also on the relationship between music and personality traits. The main question this study tried to answer was whether using background music might enhance students' t...

Motivated by predictions of a structured neuronal model of the cortex, we performed a behavioral experiment which showed that listening to a Mozart piano sonata produced significant short-term enhancement of spatial-temporal reasoning in college students. Here we present results from an experiment which replicates these findings, and shows that (i) 'repetitive' music does not enhance reasoning;...

Experimental evidence demonstrates robust cross-modal matches between music and colors that are mediated by emotional associations. US and Mexican participants chose colors that were most/least consistent with 18 selections of classical orchestral music by Bach, Mozart, and Brahms. In both cultures, faster music in the major mode produced color choices that were more saturated, lighter, and yel...

There is much to admire in Patrik Juslin’s winding article [1], so one is hesitant to dwell on a few shortcomings. Juslin has taken on the ambitious task of bringing “aesthetic” emotions into his previous work on music-related affect. However, there are a number of philosophical issues that are dealt with hastily. For philosophers, the article often conflates normative and prescriptive argument...

Schizophrenia is a syndrome that is typically accompanied by delusions and hallucinations that might be associated with insular pathology. Music intervention, as a complementary therapy, is commonly used to improve psychiatric symptoms in the maintenance stage of schizophrenia. In this study, we employed a longitudinal design to assess the effects of listening to Mozart music on the insular fun...

Converging evidence suggests an association between spatial and music domains. A cerebellar role in music-related information processing as well as in spatial-temporal tasks has been documented. Here, we investigated the cerebellar role in the association between spatial and musical domains, by testing performances in embodied (EMR) or abstract (AMR) mental rotation tasks of subjects listening ...

Compared with Mozart whose deeply influenced by J.S Bach’s music interpreted the characteristics of music, as “men serve god”. Except for strong religious elements, both Haydn and had experiences employed court musicians making their more ingratiate royalties which is so much different from Beethoven’s realism. “Every rational person can advance society, a genius unhinge world.” Fully expressed...

This work addresses the problem of matching short excerpts of audio with their respective counterparts in sheet music images. We show how to employ neural networkbased cross-modality embedding spaces for solving the following two sheet music-related tasks: retrieving the correct piece of sheet music from a database when given a music audio as a search query; and aligning an audio recording of a...

In August 1969, the music documentary series Workshop (1964–78) focused on electronic in a 55-minute-long film titled ‘The Same Trade as Mozart’. Produced and directed by David Buckton, included interviews with composers Karlheinz Stockhausen, Tristram Cary Justin Connolly; BBC Radiophonic staff Desmond Briscoe, Cain John Baker, Workshop’s founder, Daphne Oram; Peter Zinovieff, director of EMS ...
