An energy-based generative sequence model for testing sensory theories of Western harmony [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The relationship between sensory consonance and Western harmony is an important topic in music theory and psychology. We introduce new methods for analysing this relationship, and apply them to large corpora representing three prominent genres of Western music: classical, popular, and jazz music. These methods centre on a generative sequence model with

Singular Electromagnetics: From Phase Singularities to Optical Skyrmions and Beyond

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Singular electromagnetics/optics studies multidimensional topological defects of electromagnetic fields (also known as optical singularities), including phase and polarization singularities, 3D singularities (e.g., optical skyrmions, merons, hopfions, knots, links, and Möbius strips), and even higher‐dimensional singularities.

Medical students' initial experiences of the dissection room and interaction with body donors: A qualitative study of professional identity formation, educational benefits, and the experience of Pasifika students

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The first experience of medical students in the dissecting room (DR) likely influences professional identity formation (PIF). Sparse data exist exploring how exposure to the DR and body donors without undertaking dissection influences PIF, or how culture may influence this experience.

The purpose of this paper is to assess modes and functions of paratexts drawing on music. The article examines paratextuality in relation to the phenomenon of intermediality, and more precisely the concept of musicalization of fiction. By analyzing paratexts taken from twentieth-century and contemporary novels, it argues that musicalized paratexts have

Testing prosodic development with the Headturn Preference Procedure: A test‐retest reliability study

open access: yesInfant and Child Development, Volume 31, Issue 6, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract The Headturn Preference Procedure (HPP) is widely used in infant research. Previous studies have shown that speech perception measures obtained with HPP are related to later language skills which may make them a potential instrument for an early detection of developmental language risks. The present study assessed the reliability and stability
