Human high-level visual cortex has been described in two seemingly opposed ways. A categorical view emphasizes discrete category-selective areas, while a dimensional view highlights continuous feature maps spanning across these areas. Can these divergent perspectives on cortical organization be reconciled within a…

Many sensory neurons encode information about more than one stimulus feature. Multidimensional tuning increases ambiguity in stimulus-response relationships, but we find that it also offers an unexpected computational advantage, allowing the brain to better reconstruct sensory stimuli. From the responses of sensory…

'Alan Alfred Stocker'] According to the efficient coding hypothesis, sensory systems are adapted to maximize their ability to encode information about the environment. Sensory neurons play a key role in encoding by selectively modulating their firing rate for a subset of all possible stimuli. This pattern of modulation…

'Johnatan Aljadeff'] Ethologically relevant stimuli are often multidimensional. In many brain systems, neurons with “pure” tuning to one stimulus dimension are found along with “conjunctive” neurons that encode several dimensions, forming an apparently redundant representation. Here we show using theoretical analysis…

While NMT has achieved remarkable results in the last 5 years, production systems come with strict quality requirements in arbitrarily niche domains that are not always adequately covered by readily available parallel corpora. This is typically addressed by training domain specific models, using fine-tuning methods and…

Goal-directed behavior requires humans to constantly manage and switch between multiple, independent, and conflicting, sources of information. Conventional cognitive control tasks, however, only feature one task and one source of distraction. Therefore, it is unclear how control is allocated in multidimensional…

Music-centric Multi-way Instruction Tuning Authors: ['Zhuoyuan Mao' 'Mengjie Zhao' 'Qiyu Wu' 'Hiromi Wakaki' 'Yuki Mitsufuji'] Recent advancements in music large language models (LLMs) have significantly improved music understanding tasks, which involve the model's ability to analyze and interpret various musical…

Multidimensional functional data streams arise in diverse scientific fields, yet their analysis poses significant challenges. We propose a novel online framework for functional principal component analysis that enables efficient and scalable modeling of such data. Our method represents functional principal components…

As one of the basic elements in acoustic events, timbre influences the brain collectively with other factors such as pitch and loudness. Research on timbre perception involve interdisciplinary fields, including physical acoustics, auditory psychology, neurocognitive science and music theory, etc. From the perspectives…

The phenomenon of musical ‘consonance’ is crucial for many musical styles, determining how notes are organized into scales, how scales are tuned, and how chords are constructed from scales. Western music theory assumes that consonance depends solely on frequency ratios between chord tones; however, psychoacoustic…

VR (Virtual Reality) replaces the real world with a simulated experience (virtual world). AR (Augmented Reality) allows a virtual world to be experienced while also experiencing the real world at the same time. Mixed Reality provides blends that interpolate between real and virtual worlds in various proportions, along…

This paper attempts to establish a psychophysical basis for both stationary (tension in chord sonorities) and transitional (resolution in chord progressions) harmony. Harmony studies the phenomenon of combining notes in music to produce a pleasing effect greater than the sum of its parts. Being both aesthetic and…

A Comprehensive Review Authors: ['Hong Zhang' 'Jie Lin' 'Shengxuan Chen'] Timbre, the sound's unique "color", is fundamental to how we perceive and appreciate music. This review explores the multifaceted world of timbre perception and representation. It begins by tracing the word's origin, offering an intuitive grasp…

perceptually meaningful correspondences between colour and sound Authors: ['Charles Spence' 'Nicola Di Stefano'] There has long been interest in the nature of the relationship(s) between hue and pitch or, in other words, between colour and musical/pure tones, stretching back at least as far as Newton, Goethe…

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) electrochromism is a promising technology that enables new ways to control radiative heat, which is particularly crucial for applications such as building thermoregulation efficiency, industrial process efficiency, spacecraft thermal engineering, and personal heat management. However, most mid-IR…

Multi-material 3D printing concerns the use of two or more 3D printable materials within a single printed part. The result is a composite that benefits from the combined properties of the individual 3D printed materials. Typically, a distinct differentiation between material properties can only be achieved using…

pitch uncertainty in Primaal's commercial works Authors: ['Emmanuel Deruty' 'Luc Leroy' 'Yann Macé' 'David Meredith'] We identify characteristic features of how pitch is manipulated for expressive purposes by Hyper Music, a mainstream commercial music company specialising in advertisement music for global corporations.…

Range-separated hybrid functionals have dramatically improved the description of charge-transfer excitations in time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), especially when the range-separation parameter is adjusted in order to satisfy the ionization energy (IE) criterion, eHOMO = –IE. However, this "optimal…

The Polytope Formalism provides a rigorous and unifying mathematical framework for representing all possible molecular configurations and their interrelationships. Extending its application from stereoisomerism to molecular constitution reveals that both arise from a common structural foundation linking discrete and…

This paper reviews music research using Mismatch Negativity (MMN). MMN is a deviation-specific component of auditory event-related potential (EPR), which detects a deviation between a sound and an internal representation (e.g., memory trace). Recent studies have expanded the notion and the paradigms of MMN to…
