Two notices

Dear List -

I just got back from the Computational Auditory Scene Analysis
workshop at the IJCAI conference in Montreal.  It was a marvellous
workshop, thanks to all the participants, and as a result of the fine
efforts of the co-chairs, Hiroshi Okuno and Dave Rosenthal along with
the rest of the committee.  I hope to post some kind of summary here
in the next few days.

In the meantime, I have received two announcements for the list -
Stuart Rosen's change of address, and an announcement from Marc Leman
of a book called MUSIC AND SCHEMA THEORY.

MUSIC AND SCHEMA THEORY -

COGNITIVE FOUNDATIONS OF SYSTEMATIC MUSICOLOGY
by Marc Leman (IPEM, University of Ghent, Belgium)
Springer Series in Information Sciences No. 31
Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 1995
ISBN 3-540-60021-3

234 pages, 101 figues

Price: 98 DM

Contents:

This book is about schema-theory, about how memory structures
self-organize and how they use contextual information to guide
perception.  The schema concept has origins in philosophy, neurology
and psychology, and is now generally accepted as a fundamental
cornerstone in AI (Artificial Intelligence), cognitive science, and
brain research.  The aim of this book is to provide a foundation for
the emergence and functionality of schemata by means of a case study
in tone center perception.
The psycho-morphological theory relies on an attempt to combine
physiological acoustics (psychoacoustics) with self-organization
theory (Gestalt theory).
