Data-Driven Music Theory: Curating and Investigating Large Corpora of Digitally Encoded Music Analyses

Johannes Hentschel

This dissertation on data-driven music theory is centered around curatorial practices concerning the creation, publication, and evaluation of large, expert-annotated symbolic datasets. With its primary interest in the harmony of European tonal music from i ...

An Annotated Corpus of Tonal Piano Music from the Long 19th Century

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Fabian Claude Moss, Johannes Hentschel

We present a dataset of 264 annotated piano pieces of nine composers, composed in the long 19th century (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7483349). Annotations adhere to the DCML harmony annotation standard and include Roman numerals, phrase boundaries, and ...

MuseReduce: A Generic Framework for Hierarchical Music Analysis

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Petter Harald Ericson

In comparison to computational linguistics, with its abundance of natural-language datasets, corpora of music analyses are rather fewer and generally smaller. This is partly due to difficulties inherent to the encoding of music analyses, whose multimodal r ...

Interpreting Rhythm as Parsing: Syntactic-Processing Operations Predict the Migration of Visual Flashes as Perceived During Listening to Musical Rhythms

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti

Music can be interpreted by attributing syntactic relationships to sequential musical events, and, computationally, such musical interpretation represents an analogous combinatorial task to syntactic processing in language. While this perspective has been ...

Methods for functional connectivity and morphometry in neonatal neuroimaging to study neurodevelopment

Serafeim Loukas

Preterm birth is a major pediatric health problem that perturbs the genetically determined program of corticogenesis of the developing brain. As a consequence, prematurity has been strongly associated with adverse long-term neurodevelopmental outcome that ...

The Tonal Diffusion Model

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Robert Lieck

Pitch-class distributions are of central relevance in music information retrieval, computational musicology and various other fields, such as music perception and cognition. However, despite their structure being closely related to the cognitively and musi ...

Prefrontal High Gamma in ECoG Tags Periodicity of Musical Rhythms in Perception and Imagination

Steffen Alexander Herff

Rhythmic auditory stimuli are known to elicit matching activity patterns in neural populations. Furthermore, recent research has established the particular importance of high-gamma brain activity in auditory processing by showing its involvement in auditor ...

Music processing in preterm and full-term newborns: A psychophysiological interaction (PPI) approach in neonatal fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras, Serafeim Loukas

Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) provide special equipment designed to give life support for the increasing number of prematurely born infants and assure their survival. More recently NICU's strive to include developmentally oriented care and modulate ...

Harmonic Syntax in Time: Rhythm Improves Grammatical Models of Harmony

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim

Music is hierarchically structured, both in how it is perceived by listeners and how it is composed. Such structure can be elegantly captured using probabilistic grammatical models similar to those used to study natural language. They address the complexit ...

Neural encoding of auditory features during music perception and imagery

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Stéphanie Martin

Despite many behavioral and neuroimaging investigations, it remains unclear how the human cortex represents spectrotemporal sound features during auditory imagery, and how this representation compares to auditory perception. To assess this, we recorded ele ...

Testing the Role of Dorsal Premotor Cortex in Auditory-Motor Association Learning Using Transcranical Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Interactions between the auditory and the motor systems are critical in music as well as in other domains, such as speech. The premotor cortex, specifically the dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC), seems to play a key role in auditory-motor integration, and in m ...

On the design of audio features robust to the album-effect for music information retrieval

Nicolas Scaringella

Short-term spectral features – and most notably Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) – are the most widely used descriptors of audio signals and are deployed in a majority of state-of-the-art Music Information Retrieval (MIR) systems. These descript ...

Music Onset Detection Based on Resonator Time Frequency Image

Marco Mattavelli, Giorgio Zoia, Ruohua Zhou

This paper describes a new method for music onset detection. The novelty of the approach consists mainly of two elements: the time–frequency processing and the detection stages. The resonator time frequency image (RTFI) is the basic time–frequency analysis ...

Human auditory belt areas specialized in sound recognition: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Dragana Viceic

The human primary auditory cortex is surrounded by at least six other, anatomically distinct areas that process auditory information. We have investigated their specialization with respect to sound recognition or sound localization with triple epoch functi ...

The demystification of autoscopic phenomena: experimental propositions

Olaf Blanke, Christine Mohr

Autoscopic phenomena (AP) are rare, illusory visual experiences during which the subject has the impression of seeing a second own body in extrapersonal space. AP consist of out-of-body experience, autoscopic hallucination, and heautoscopy. Recent neurolog ...
