Walking together: artificial and natural selection in traditional husbandry of feral pigs

Journal of Zoology, Volume 325, Issue 4, Page 301-311, April 2025.
The history of Homo sapiens is studded with many events promoting relationships with wild animals changing their evolutionary path or impacting their adaptation. Artificial selection is recognized as the product of planned actions aimed to annex useful species into the anthropic niche.

Loud Music Exposure and Cochlear Synaptopathy in Young Adults: Isolated Auditory Brainstem Response Effects but No Perceptual Consequences

Trends in Hearing, 2017
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that listeners with frequent exposure to loud music exhibit deficits in suprathreshold auditory performance consistent with cochlear synaptopathy. Young adults with normal audiograms were recruited who

Novice interpreters, transmedia fictions and the afferent stance

Literacy, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 177-184, May 2025.
Abstract Louise Rosenblatt's well‐known concept of stance distinguishes between efferent reading (reading to take something away from the text) and aesthetic reading (reading for the experience of dwelling in the text). This article proposes a refinement to this binary, adding the concept of afferent reading. Afference, in biology, means a bringing‐to,

Effect of Early‐Life Lipid‐Based Nutrient Supplement and Home Environment on Autonomic Nervous System Regulation at 9–11 Years: A Follow‐Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 21, Issue 2, April 2025.
A long‐term follow‐up study of a randomized controlled trial found that children of mothers who received either prenatal and postnatal small‐quantity lipid‐based nutrient supplements or multiple micronutrient supplements had better cardiac sympathetic activity compared to those who received iron and folic acid. A better early childhood environment also

A framework for modeling performers' beat-to-beat heart intervals using music features and Interpretation Maps

Frontiers in Psychology
ObjectiveMusic strongly modulates our autonomic nervous system. This modulation is evident in musicians' beat-to-beat heart (RR) intervals, a marker of heart rate variability (HRV), and can be related to music features and structures.

AI TrackMate: Finally, Someone Who Will Give Your Music More Than Just "Sounds Great!" [PDF]

arXiv
The rise of "bedroom producers" has democratized music creation, while challenging producers to objectively evaluate their work. To address this, we present AI TrackMate, an LLM-based music chatbot designed to provide constructive feedback on music productions. By combining LLMs' inherent musical knowledge with direct audio track analysis, AI TrackMate

Musical dynamics classification with CNN and modulation spectra

, 2020
To investigate variations in the timbre space with regards to musical dynamics, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were trained on modulation power spectra (MPS), melscaled and ERB-scaled spectrograms of single notes of sustained instruments played at two dynamics extremes (pp and ff ).

Connect or detach: A transformative experience for medical students in end‐of‐life care

Medical Education, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 395-408, April 2025.
Abstract Context At the beginning of clinical practice, medical students face complex end‐of‐life (EoL) decisions, such as limiting life‐sustaining therapies, which may precipitate emotionally charged moral dilemmas. Previous research shows these dilemmas may cause identity dissonance and impact students' personal and professional development.

Engineering Music to Slow Breathing and Invite Relaxed Physiology [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We engineered an interactive music system that influences a user's breathing rate to induce a relaxation response. This system generates ambient music containing periodic shifts in loudness that are determined by the user's own breathing patterns. We evaluated the efficacy of this music intervention for participants who were engaged in an attention ...

Association Between Interoceptive Accuracy and Pain Perception: Insights From Trained Musicians and Athletes. [PDF]

Eur J Pain
ABSTRACT Background The integration of concurrent endogenous and exogenous multisensory information throughout years of dedicated sensorimotor training is associated with enhanced interoceptive accuracy and altered pain perception in healthy individuals.
