BACKGROUND: There is equivocal evidence regarding the effectiveness of robotic guidance on the (re)learning of voluntary motor skills. Robotic guidance can improve the performance of continuous/ tracking skills, although being seldom more effective t...
Dualisms are pervasive. The divisions between the rational mind, the physical body, and the external natural world have set the stage for the successes and failures of contemporary cognitive science and artificial intelligence.1 Advanced machine lear...

Cognitive disability strongly reduces people's autonomy in performing desired as well as daily activities. The use of Social Assistive Robots (SARs) for cognitive rehabilitation therapy for disabled people could be a valuable gateway for the resident...
We propose a violin bowing action recognition system that can accurately recognize distinct bowing actions in classical violin performance. This system can recognize bowing actions by analyzing signals from a depth camera and from inertial sensors th...
In recent years, neural networks have been used to generate symbolic melodies. However, the long-term structure in the melody has posed great difficulty to design a good model. In this article, we present a hierarchical recurrent neural network (HRNN...
Why is some music well-received whereas other music is not? Previous research has indicated the close temporal dependencies of neural activity among performers and among audiences. However, it is unknown whether similar neural contingencies exist bet...
How does the brain represent musical properties? Even with our growing understanding of the cognitive neuroscience of music, the answer to this question remains unclear. One method for conceiving possible representations is to use artificial neural n...
INTRODUCTION: Visual sleep-stage scoring is a time-consuming technique that cannot extract the nonlinear characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG). This article presents a novel method for sleep-stage differentiation based on sonification of slee...
Finding music pieces whose similarity is explainable in plain musical terms can be of considerable value in many applications. We propose a composition grouping method based on musicological approach. The underlying idea is to compare music notation ...
Piano is a complex instrument, which humans learn to play after many years of practice. This paper investigates the complex dynamics of the embodied interactions between a human and piano, in order to gain insights into the nature of humans' physical...
