• Whole-brain neuronal activity displays crackling noise dynamics

  Ponce-Alvarez, Adrián; Jouary, Adrien; Privat, Martin; Deco, Gustavo; Sumbre, Germán (Elsevier, 2018)

  Previous studies suggest that the brain operates at a critical point in which phases of order and disorder coexist, producing emergent patterned dynamics at all scales and optimizing several brain functions. Here, we ...

• NACTA: construyendo el futuro de la tradición del jingju

  Caro Repetto, Rafael; Serra, Xavier (2016)

  En sus poco más de doscientos años de historia, el jingju, u ópera de Pekín, ha conseguido el título de tesoro nacional (guocui) y como tal ha asumido la turbulenta historia reciente del país. En la puja por situarse como ...
• Melodic transformation processes in the arrangements of Jingju Banshi

  Caro Repetto, Rafael; Serra, Xavier (2016)

  Music in jingju (also known as Peking or Beijing opera) is predefined by tradition. Before the appearance of jingju music composers, actors used to “arrange melodies” (bianqu) for new lyrics according to melodic systems ...
• Automatic chord-scale recognition using harmonic pitch class profiles

  Demirel, Emir; Bozkurt, Baris; Serra, Xavier (Sound & Music Computing Conference, 2019)

  This study focuses on the application of different computational methods to carry out a ”modal harmonic analysis” for Jazz improvisation performances by modeling the concept of chord-scales. The Chord-Scale Theory is a ...
• Breaking the state of the heart: meshless model for cardiac mechanics

  Lluch Alvarez, Èric; De Craene, Mathieu; Bijnens, Bart; Sermesant, Maxime; Noailly, Jérôme; Camara, Oscar; Morales, Hernán G. (Springer, 2019)
