Popular musicians often learn music by ear. It is unclear what role technology plays for those with experience at this task. In search of opportunities for the development of novel human-recording interactions, we analyze 18 YouTube videos…
Art has long played a profound role in shaping human emotion, cognition, and behavior. While visual arts such as painting and architecture have been studied through eye tracking, revealing distinct gaze patterns between experts and novices,…
Past work has reported inverted-U relationships between arousal and auditory task performance, but the underlying neural network mechanisms remain unclear. To make progress, we recorded auditory cortex activity from behaving mice during…
When listening to a sound source in everyday-life situations, typical movement behavior can lead to a mismatch between the direction of the head and the direction of interest. This could reduce the performance of directional algorithms, as…
Musical audio is generally composed of three physical properties: frequency, time and magnitude. Interestingly, human auditory periphery also provides neural codes for each of these dimensions to perceive music. Inspired by these intrinsic…
It is a widespread belief among musicians that a violin's sound ``opens up'' or improves through regular playing. However, physical evidence for this ``playing-in'' effect remains elusive. This study revisited the phenomenon by testing two…
With the development of media and networking technologies, multimedia applications ranging from feature presentation in a cinema setting to video on demand to interactive video conferencing are in great demand. Good synchronization between…
Recent deep learning approaches have achieved impressive performance on visual sound separation tasks. However, these approaches are mostly built on appearance and optical flow like motion feature representations, which exhibit limited…
Music is an inherently social activity that allows people to share experiences and feel connected with one another. There has been little progress in designing artificial partners exhibiting a similar social experience as playing with…
While the automatic recognition of musical instruments has seen significant progress, the task is still considered hard for music featuring multiple instruments as opposed to single instrument recordings. Datasets for polyphonic instrument…
Supervised deep learning methods for performing audio source separation can be very effective in domains where there is a large amount of training data. While some music domains have enough data suitable for training a separation system,…
In this study, we investigated the effect of specific noise realizations on the discrimination of two consonants, /b/ and /d/. For this purpose, we collected data from twelve participants, who listened to the words /aba/ or /ada/ embedded…
This study aims to enhance the quality of music generation using Transformers by incorporating meta-information. While Transformer-based approaches are effective at capturing long-term dependencies in musical compositions, the music they…
Every art form ultimately aims to invoke an emotional response over the audience, and music is no different. While the precise perception of music is a highly subjective topic, there is an agreement in the "feeling" of a piece of music in…
Changing the vocal tract shape is one of the techniques which can be used by the players of wind instruments to modify the quality of the sound. It has been intensely studied in the case of reed instruments but has received only little…
Multi-pitch perception is investigated in a listening test using 30 recordings of musical sounds with two tones played simultaneously, except for two gong sounds with inharmonic overtone spectrum, judging roughness and separateness as the…
Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) -- the task of converting music audio into note representations -- has seen rapid progress, driven largely by deep learning systems. Due to the limited availability of richly annotated music datasets,…
This study investigates the dose-response effects of making music on youth development. Identification is based on the conditional independence assumption and estimation is implemented using a recent double machine learning estimator. The…
In this paper, we present an EEG study of two music improvisation experiments. Professional musicians with high level of improvisation skills were asked to perform music either according to notes (composed music) or in improvisation. Each…
A data set of recorded single played tones of a concert grand piano is investigated using Machine Learning (ML) on psychoacoustic timbre features. The examined instrument has been recorded at two stages: firstly right after manufacture and…
