• Music and speech in early development: automatic analysis and classification of prosodic features from two Portuguese variants

  Salselas, Inês; Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964- (Ubiquity Press, 2011)

  In the present study we aim to capture rhythmic and melodic patterning in speech and singing directed to infants. We address this issue by exploring the acoustic features that best predict different classification problems. ...
• Towards concurrent multi-tasking in shareable interfaces

  Fernandez Julià, Carles, 1984-; Jordà Puig, Sergi (Springer, 2015)

  Shareable interfaces, those that can be interacted simultaneously by several users, are a common tool used both in CSCW research and in real world applications. They tend however to lack a capability that has been traditionally ...
• The AcousticBrainz genre dataset: Multi-source, multi-level, multi-label, and large-scale

  Bogdanov, Dmitry; Porter, Alastair; Schreiber, Hendrik; Urbano, Julián; Oramas, Sergio (International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), 2019)

  This paper introduces the AcousticBrainz Genre Dataset, a large-scale collection of hierarchical multi-label genre annotations from different metadata sources. It allows researchers to explore how the same music pieces ...
• Linear distributed source modeling of local field potentials recorded with intra-cortical electrode arrays

  Hindriks, Rikkert; Schmiedt, Joscha; Arsiwalla, Xerxes D.; Peter, Alina; Verschure, Paul F. M. J.; Fries, Pascal; Schmid, Michael C.; Deco, Gustavo (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)

  Planar intra-cortical electrode (Utah) arrays provide a unique window into the spatial organization of cortical activity. Reconstruction of the current source density (CSD) underlying such recordings, however, requires ...
• The Effect of foreign language in fear acquisition

  García Palacios, Azucena; Costa, Albert, 1970-; Castilla, Diana; del Río, Eva; Casaponsa, Aina; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Nature Research, 2018)

  Emotions are at the core of human nature. There is evidence that emotional reactivity in foreign languages compared to native languages is reduced. We explore whether this emotional distance could modulate fear conditioning, ...
• Instance-based generalization for human judgments about uncertainty

  Schustek, Philipp; Moreno Bote, Rubén (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)

  While previous studies have shown that human behavior adjusts in response to uncertainty, it is still not well understood how uncertainty is estimated and represented. As probability distributions are high dimensional ...
• Visual stimulation quenches global alpha range activity in awake primate V4: a case study

  Deneux, Thomas; Masquelier, Timothée; Bermudez, Maria A.; Masson, Guillaume S.; Deco, Gustavo; Vanzetta, Ivo (Society of Photo Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2017)

  Increasing evidence suggests that sensory stimulation not only changes the level of cortical activity with respect to baseline but also its structure. Despite having been reported in a multitude of conditions and preparations ...
• Tonal representations for music retrieval: from version identification to query-by-humming

  Salomon, Justin; Serrà Julià, Joan; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (Springer, 2013)

  In this study we compare the use of different music representations for retrieving alternative performances of the same musical piece, a task commonly referred to as version identification. Given the audio signal of a song, ...
• Faust Music On Line (FMOL): an approach to real-time collective composition on the Internet

  Jordà Puig, Sergi (MIT Press, 1999)

  Collective creation and the production of open and continuously evolving works are, according to the author, two of the major and more appealing artistic breakthroughs the Internet can offer to composers and creators in ...
• Displaced soundScapes: a survey of network systems for music and sonic art creation

  Barbosa, Álvaro (MIT Press, 2003)

  The ubiquitous nature of communication in computer networks, firmly manifested in the Internet era, provided a context for the introduction of different collaborative tools widely accepted by the on-line community, such ...
• Ethics in educational technology research: Informing participants on data sharing risks

  Beardsley, Marc; Santos Rodríguez, Patrícia; Hernández Leo, Davinia; Michos, Konstantinos (Wiley, 2019)

  Participants in educational technology research regularly share personal data which carries with it risks. Informing participants of these data sharing risks is often only done so through text contained within a consent ...
• Discourse-driven argument mining in scientific abstracts

  Accuosto, Pablo; Saggion, Horacio (Springer, 2019)
