This paper focuses on possible time-domain neurocomputational mechanisms for short-term anticipatory processes. Here we present a simple, signal processing functional model of how short-term rhythmic pattern expectancies could be computed on the fly using recurrent neural timing nets (RTNs). The model is inspired by…

Music often entails perception of periodic pulses (hereafter meter) which serve as an internal temporal reference to coordinate movements to music. Crucially, meter perception arises even when the musical rhythm only weakly cues meter periodicities (i.e., syncopated rhythms). However, syncopated rhythms are often…

The brain uses temporal structure in the environment, like rhythm in music and speech, to predict the timing of events, thereby optimizing their processing and perception. Temporal expectations can be grounded in different aspects of the input structure, such as a regular beat or a predictable pattern. One influential…

The synchronization of neural oscillations with an external regularity such as a musical beat has been regarded as an important mechanism for the brain to make sense of our auditory environment. Such synchronization is often quantified as phase locking of neural oscillations to a stimulus, but this method has been…

This paper addresses a question about music cognition: how do we derive polymetric structures. A preference rule system is presented which is implemented into a drum computer. The preference rule system allows inferring local polymetric structures, like two-over-three and threeover-two. By analyzing the micro-timing of…

Developmental dyslexia is associated with rhythmic difficulties, including impaired perception of beat patterns in music and prosodic stress patterns in speech. Spoken prosodic rhythm is cued by slow (<10 Hz) fluctuations in speech signal amplitude. Impaired neural oscillatory tracking of these slow amplitude…

This paper outlines a cognitive and comparative perspective on human rhythmic cognition that emphasizes a key distinction between pulse perception and meter perception. Pulse perception involves the extraction of a regular pulse or “tactus” from a stream of events. Meter perception involves grouping of events into…

'Elisabeth H. M. Sterck'] Despite the quintessential role that music plays in human societies by enabling us to release and share emotions with others, traces of its evolutionary origins in other species remain scarce. Drumming like humans whilst producing music is practically unheard of in our most closely related…

Humans across cultures show an outstanding capacity to perceive, learn, and produce musical rhythms. These skills rely on mapping the infinite space of possible rhythmic sensory inputs onto a finite set of internal rhythm categories. What are the brain processes underlying rhythm categorization? We used…

Humans readily recognize a familiar rhythmic pattern, such as isochrony (equal timing between events) across a wide range of rates. This ability reflects a facility with perceiving the relative timing of events, not just absolute interval durations. Several lines of evidence suggest that this ability is supported by…

In this paper, we present a series of mathematical problems which throw interesting lights on flamenco music. More specifically, these are problems in discrete and computational mathematics suggested by an analytical (not compositional) examination of flamenco "cante" (singing). As a consequence, since the problems are…

The goal of this thesis was to implement a tool that, given a digital audio input, can extract and represent rhythm and musical time. The purpose of the tool is to help develop better models of rhythm for real-time computer based performance and composition. This analysis tool, Riddim, uses Independent Subspace…

'Hanna Schäfer' 'Mennatallah El‐Assady'] In this paper, we bridge the gap between visualization and musicology by focusing on rhythm analysis tasks, which are tedious due to the complex visual encoding of the well-established Common Music Notation (CMN). Instead of replacing the CMN, we augment sheet music with…

Musical rhythm perception is a natural human ability that involves complex cognitive processes. Rhythm refers to the organization of events in time, and musical rhythms have an underlying hierarchical metrical structure. The metrical structure induces the feeling of a beat and the extent to which a rhythm induces the…

The present study has two goals relating to the grammar of prosody, understood as the rhythms and melodies of speech: to provide an overview and a proposal. First, an overview is provided of the computable grammatical and phonetic approaches to prosody analysis which use hypotheticodeductive methods and are based…

Categorization of rhythmic patterns is prevalent in musical practice, an example of this being the transcription of (possibly not strictly metrical) music into musical notation. In this article we implement a dynamical systems' model of rhythm categorization based on the resonance theory of rhythm perception developed…

The purpose of this paper is to show through particular examples how group theory is used in music. The examples are chosen from the theoretical work and from the compositions of Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), one of the most influential twentieth century composers and pedagogues. Messiaen consciously used mathematical…

Most work on musical score models (a.k.a. musical language models) for music transcription has focused on describing the local sequential dependence of notes in musical scores and failed to capture their global repetitive structure, which can be a useful guide for transcribing music. Focusing on rhythm, we formulate…

Laser modification of polymer surfaces is critical in many contexts including self-cleaning materials, microelectronics, and biomedical research. Despite their utility, accessing these modified polymers requires expensive or complex materials and multi-step fabrication, masking, and washing processes. Here, we present…

The discovery of quasicrystals, characterized by unique, non-repeating atomic arrangements and forbidden rotational symmetries, has significantly expanded our understanding of crystalline materials. However, controlling quasiperiodic length scales remains challenging because the quasiperiodic arrangements are often…

The theory behind origin of life to Darwinian evolution considers emergence of dissipative structures driven by the flow of energy across all length scales. To this end, developing and deeper understanding of non-equilibrium self-assembly processes under continuous supply of energy is a demanding matter, both in…

The capacity to pattern biomolecules within microfluidic devices expands the scope of microfluidic technologies. In such patterned systems, surface-bound components remained localized, while the microfluidic network supplies reagents and removes waste products. This approach has enabled continuous protein expression…
