The results of this study suggest that the consonance pattern could be an expected outcome in any system containing the asserted set of features (including the higher animals).
The intent of this study is not to realistically model the human auditory system, but to demonstrate a set of features an abstract and generic system should possess so it could produce the consonance pattern.
We demonstrate that a specific auditory spectral distribution caused by nonlinearities, as a first phenomenon, and the Hebbian neuroplasticity as a second, are sufficient set of phenomena a system should possess so it could generate the consonance pattern - the actual two-tone interval list ordered by consonance.
In a reverse engineering manner, our simulations are testing all the possible spectral distributions of auditory stimuli (within particular precision scales and applying certain abstractions) and reveal those that produce a result with a pattern perfectly matching the consonance ordered two-tone interval list, the one that is widely accepted in the Western musical culture.
The finding of higher risk of HIV-1 infection among black women despite being in consonance with the HIV-1 ethnic pattern in some American regions cannot be ruled out to be a surrogate marker of socio-economic condition.
The sliding notes that start "Wildflower Soul" sounded more anarchic; the dissonant riff that keeps breaking into "French Tickler" seemed more dangerous; the folk-rock of "Karen Koltrane" seemed to unfold naturally into guitar patterns that rang with consonance, then sprouted colliding dissonances.
Systematically explores basic dimensions of hearing (pitch, timbre, consonance, loudness) and the time sense (duration, temporal pattern) that form our perception of tonal quality, melody, harmony, meter, and rhythm in music.
In line with the impression that QOL is sensitive to psychosocial distress [ 31], we found that the pattern of satisfaction was in consonance with the subjects' material and socio-cultural circumstances; and our findings indicated that poorer QOL was significantly associated with female gender, older age, indices of social disadvantage, psychic distress and social/academic pressures.
Even in the most formal metrical designs, the quality, pitch, and force of certain sounds, along with the interplay of other poetic devices such as assonance, consonance, alliteration, or rhyme may act to reinforce or obscure the basic metrical pattern.
Consonance refers to the repetition and rhyme of consonants – ex.
Stated as a conditional, the Buddhist teaching of karma is that if we pay close and sustained enough attention to the dynamics of our experience, a meticulous consonance becomes manifest between the complexion of our own values, intentions and actions, and the patterns of outcomes and opportunities we are experiencing.
