Subject: Two notices From: Dan Ellis <dpwe(at)MEDIA.MIT.EDU> Date: Wed, 23 Aug 1995 16:57:50 -0400Dear 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. -- DAn Ellis <dpwe(at)media.mit.edu> <http://sound.media.mit.edu/~dpwe/> MIT Media Lab Perceptual Computing - Machine Listening Group. - - - - - - - - - - ~/Mail/inbox/587 - - - - - - - - - - From: stuart(at)phonetics.ucl.ac.uk (Stuart Rosen) Date: Tue, 22 Aug 1995 15:47:34 +0100 (BST) > Please note change of address: > > Stuart Rosen > Department of Phonetics & Linguistics > University College London > 4 Stephenson Way > London NW1 2HE > England > > stuart(at)phonetics.ucl.ac.uk > > Tel: (44 171) 380-7401 > Fax: (44 171) 383-0752 > > P.S.

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). Chapter titles: 1. Introduction 2. Tone Semantics 3. Pitch as an Emerging Percept 4. Defining the Framework 5. Auditory Models of Pitch Perception 6. Schema and Learning 7. Learning Images-out-of-Time 8. Learning Images-in-Time 9. Schema and Control 10. Evaluation of the Tone Center Recognition Model 11. Rhythm and Timbre Imagery 12. Epistemological Foundations 13.
