It actually turned out to be a pretty good test to check for overall pitch perception ability. The test is purposefully made very hard, so excellent musicians rarely score above 80% correct. Give it a try! In our research, we were looking for neuro-anatomical correlates of tonedeafness (called "congenital amusia" in the scientific literature. The test you are about to take was used as a screening test to roughly characterize a patient’s pitch discrimination and musical memory abilities. Flash is necessary to take the tonedeaf test.

Comme l’écrit Philip Ball sur la BBC, qui consacre une chronique aux travaux de Francisco Vico, «aucune tentative de composer de la musique par ordinateur –et il y en a eu beaucoup, datant des premiers temps de l’informatique– n’a été autant prise au sérieux».

Certaines compositions de Iamus ont été enregistrées en 2012 par les musiciens du London Symphony Orchestra, et le compositeur et pianiste espagnol Gustavo Diaz-Jerez prévoit d’utiliser le programme pour la création d’un opéra en 2015. Iamus, spécialisé dans l’écriture moderniste et atonale, a également un petit frère, Melomics 109, qui oeuvre lui dans la musique pop instrumentale. Ces deux programmes sont issus du même programme de recherches de l'université de Malaga, Melomics. Le site du projet Melomics renferme l’immense base de données de morceaux qu'il a générés, et des applications de musique libre de droit et de musicothérapie ont également été développées autour du programme d’origine: Partagez cet article.

Google Research project turns 64 years of music into a rock rainbow

Today Google's Research group put out a new project called Music Timeline that tracks the popularity of musical genres dating all the way back to 1950. Users can track each individual genre as time goes by, and both view and buy key albums along the way. No classical music, but there's a reason Instead of tapping Billboard charts, Google says the data is derived from artist and album information compiled from its Google Play Music service.

The prevalence of any given genre is determined by the popularity of artists found in the libraries of Google Play Music users. Lastfm graph_black_labels.png.

New study shows different brains have similar responses to music

An imaging study by Stanford University School of Medicine scientists says the answer is yes, which may in part explain why music plays such a big role in our social existence. The investigators used functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify a distributed network of several brain structures whose activity levels waxed and waned in a strikingly similar pattern among study participants as they listened to classical music they'd never heard before. The results will be published online April 11 in the European Journal of Neuroscience.

"We spend a lot of time listening to music—often in groups, and often in conjunction with synchronized movement and dance," said Vinod Menon, PhD, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and the study's senior author. Musicians spot mistakes more quickly and more accurately than non-musicians - Science - News. The study, led by Dr Ines Jentzsch for the University of St Andrews, tested the cognitive abilities of musicians and non-musicians, with the research concluding that learning an instrument could “slow or even prevent” the mental decline associated with aging.

How music changes our brains

Just a decade ago, we were lugging around clunky portable CD players that weighed as much as a hardcover book and would skip whenever we made any sudden movement. Now our entire record collection (and thanks to new companies like Spotify, almost any other song on the planet) can fit into our phones. We can listen to music nonstop — on our commute, at work, at the gym and everywhere else we might want to. But what is this explosion of sound doing to our brains?

In their new book, “Healing at the Speed of Sound,” Don Campbell, an author who has written extensively about music and health, and Alex Doman, a specialist in technology in brain function, take an extensive survey about what the latest neuroscientific findings tell us about music and the brain.
