Event Type:
Internal Colloquium I will give an overview of current projects including: Women on the Water (An aural history project focused on the women who have lived on their boats at Pier 39 in San Francisco) Music Maker (an educational resource that uses 3D printing and instrument building to teach acoustics), Sonic Windows (An imersive sound environment that allows users to hear live stereo feeds of underwater sound at listening stations along waterfront areas).
Takako Fujioka: Musical structure and plasticity in brain
I will feature recent studies from our Neuromusic laboratory at Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Stanford. I present EEG data showing polyphonic melody processing, rhyme processing in spoken words, musical syntax processing related harmonic rules, and anticipation of tempo change (e.g., accelerando and ritardando). Some of the brain response demonstrates differences between experts and naïve subjects. I will also discuss my recent MEG research on internalized timing information for beat and meter, that connects auditory, motor and reward-related systems in the brain.
