Hi All,

In recent analyses, I've become engaged with time considerations more closely. As a result I have been studying the work of Neil Todd et al on the use of rhythmograms, e.g.. the article:

Todd, N. P. M., & Brown, G. J. (1996). Visualization of rhythm, time and metre. Artificial Intelligence Review, 10, 253–273.

I have searched quite a number of the Matlab Auditory toolboxes for an implementation of their Rhythmogram model, and I have even found some pictures created by one of the students at Sheffield University showing various examples of Rhythmograms plots, but I have not discovered a Matlab implementation of the model that is publicly available.

While I do possess some programming skills, I am basically a musician, and my mathematics training is really only to 1st yr university level (and that was decades ago). Although I have studied and studied the equations of the model, my chances of being able to implement it myself from first principles are virtually nil.

So I am writing to enquire whether any list members may know of any publicly available Matlab code for the rhythmogram technique?

Please reply privately, off-list to David Hirst <dhirst0@xxxxxxxxx>, as I am not a member of this list.


Thanks in advance,

David
