Learning with background music
Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge, 2020Empirical evidence of how background music benefits or hinders learning becomes the crux of optimizing music recommendation in educational settings. This study aims to further probe the underlying mechanism through an experiment in naturalistic setting.

Background music reactive games
Proceedings of the 14th International Academic MindTrek Conference: Envisioning Future Media Environments, 2010In this paper, we discuss the concept of games that react to their background music. Instead of limiting the player to a fixed set of songs, the background music can be any song chosen from the player's own music collection. Due to the relative simplicity of such existing game titles, we wanted to explore the potential of the concept more broadly in ...

Background Music and Cognitive Performance
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2010The present experiment employed standardized test batteries to assess the effects of fast-tempo music on cognitive performance among 56 male and female university students. A linguistic processing task and a spatial processing task were selected from the Criterion Task Set developed to assess verbal and nonverbal performance.

Mediating Action and Background Music
2003An efficient use of background music is a very powerful tool to achieve high levels of immersion and to induce moods within interactive settings. Although this property is clear, the way in which action and music should be connected, so as to have such an efficient emotion delivery tool, is still to be fully understood.

Facing the Music: Performance Implications of Working with Music in the Background
2019 IEEE 10th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics & Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON), 2019Multitasking is a subfield of Human-Computer Interaction that addresses people performing multiple tasks on one or more devices. While there is a significant body of work on interleaved multitasking, where people start a task, switch to a different task, and then continue the original task, few studies have examined parallel multitasking, where two or ...

Effects of Background Music on Musical Task Performance and Subsequent Music Preference
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979The present study examined the effects of background music on performance of a musical task and on subsequent preference for that music. 60 music and 60 non-music majors heard background music in music-only or music-plus-task conditions, and a third group heard no music in a task-only condition.

Scene-Aware Background Music Synthesis
Proceedings of the 28th ACM International Conference on Multimedia, 2020In this paper, we introduce an interactive background music synthesis algorithm guided by visual content. We leverage a cascading strategy to synthesize background music in two stages: Scene Visual Analysis and Background Music Synthesis. First, seeking a deep learning-based solution, we leverage neural networks to analyze the sentiment of the input ...

This chapter explores human Background1 capacities that enable the experience and performance of music by applying Searle’s theory of the Background and related concepts to the field of music. My strategy is to approach Searle’s theory sympathetically.

Journal of American Studies, 1993
It is unusual to find a work on popular music with an argument, let alone one that makes claims on the scale of Peter Van der Merwe's Origins of the Popular Style. This book will have repercussions not only on the study of popular music, but on those debates about cultural identity which are centred on blues and jazz.

Effects of background music on concentration of workers
Work, 2011Objective: Background music is a common element in daily living and the workplace. Determination of whether background music affects human work concentration is a relevant concern. Studies have found background music influences human behavior, and this study attempts to understand how background music and listener fondness for types of music affects ...
