  2. Psychology of music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology_of_music

    The psychology of music, or music psychology, is a branch of psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and/or musicology. It aims to explain and understand musical behaviour and experience , including the processes through which music is perceived, created, responded to, and incorporated into everyday life.

  3. Drum memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_memory

    The performance of a drum with one head per track is comparable to that of a disk with one head per track and is determined almost entirely by the rotational latency, whereas in an HDD with moving heads its performance includes a rotational latency delay plus the time to position the head over the desired track .

  4. Musicology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicology

    Musicology is the academic, research-based study of music, as opposed to musical composition or performance. [1] Musicology research combines and intersects with many fields, including psychology, sociology, acoustics, neurology, natural sciences, formal sciences and computer science.

  5. Function (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(music)

    The concept of harmonic function originates in theories about just intonation.It was realized that three perfect major triads, distant from each other by a perfect fifth, produced the seven degrees of the major scale in one of the possible forms of just intonation: for instance, the triads F–A–C, C–E–G and G–B–D (subdominant, tonic, and dominant respectively) produce the seven ...

  6. Cognitive musicology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_musicology

    Music is able to access many different brain functions that play an integral role in other higher brain functions such as motor control, memory, language, reading and emotion. Research has shown that music can be used as an alternative method to access these functions that may be unavailable through non-musical stimulus due to a disorder.

  7. Power law of practice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law_of_practice

    Practice effects are also influenced by latency. Anderson, Fincham, and Douglass looked at the relationship between practice and latency and people's ability to retain what they learned. As the time between trials increases, there is greater decay. The latency function relates to the forgetting curve. [9] Latency function: latency = A + B*T d ...

  8. Excitation-transfer theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation-transfer_theory

    Response latency refers to the time it takes for an individual to respond to a stimulus. In content of this theory, response latency may be able to enhance the likelihood of the excitation-transfer process occurring. For example, a short response latency may enhance the likelihood of the transfer of excitatory emotions. [1] [4]

  9. Transformation (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(music)

    Transformations include multiplication, rotation, permutation (i.e. transposition, inversion, and retrograde), prolation (augmentation, diminution) and combinations thereof. Transformations may also be applied to simpler or more complex variables such as interval and spectrum or timbre.
