We exploited these capabilities to design an interaction paradigm suitable for the creation of low frequency oscillators for recursive modulations of music parameters.
The user can define recursive modulations of music parameters by grasping and gradually refining periodic movements on a gravity-compensated robot manipulator.
The trajectory directly affects the modulation of a related music parameter.
However according to the subject's ratings, the modulation disrupted more the quality of music than speech; speech was comprehensible even at 100% modulation, agreeing with the more important role of the amplitude envelopes than spectral cues in speech recognition (Shannon et al. 1995).
Second, emotional responses to music and the perceived pleasantness of music modulate activity in the MPFC.
After the MEG recording, intelligibility of the speech, musical quality of the music stimuli, naturalness of music and speech stimuli, and the perceived deterioration caused by the modulation were evaluated on visual analog scales.
I rather like the repetitions and in-and-out-of-phase modulations of Steve Reich's music.
For example, the activity in the parahippocampal gyrus and amygdala was found in response to the modulation of primarily negative emotion elicited by music.
For other classes of music such as Western classical music, however, musically similar audio segments may exhibit significant variations in parameters such as dynamics, timbre, execution of note groups, modulation, articulation, and tempo progression.
