It's finally possible to see the movement of guitar strings in real time | Sciencedump When cameras try to capture guitar strings being played, they see wavelength-type movements from each string. This is pretty awesome, but it can only be seen on camera all due to the camera’s rolling shutter effect. The wild wiggly effect is totally invisible to the naked eye, but not anymore! The Wobble Strings project is able to recreate a camera’s rolling shutter effect for the human eye in real time through a sweep line projection. To learn more about how they created this amazing Wobble String projector, be sure to watch the video below!

Good Vibrations From the honking of cars to music blaring out of someone's bedroom window, the world around us is saturated with sound. But what exactly is sound, and how do we hear it? From mimicking an owl's wing for quieter aircraft to creating more effective cochlear implants and the science of opera singing, our panel of experts turn up the volume to 11 to answer your questions on anything audible...

Multimedia Here's how playing a musical instrument can improve a child's brain We know that the complex colonies of microbes that live in our guts affect our physical health - imagine trying to digest things without them - but new research now suggests that they also have a positive influence on the way we think. Previous studies have revealed that in mice, changes in gut microbe colonies appear to ease feelings of anxiousness, and can help control the levels of cortisol - a potent stress hormone - coursing through the body. And now a new study on humans by researchers in the UK suggests a positive link between our gut microbes and our mental health. By feeding volunteers packages of gut-friendly prebiotics - non-digestible carbohydrates that act as food for ‘good bacteria’ called probiotics - the team was able to change the way they process emotional information, making it easier for them to ward off anxious or depressed feelings. This could be because the people who took the prebiotics were also found to have lower levels of cortisol in their saliva.
Parenthèse Bordeaux Saint-Jean - Accueil Make a homemade hearing aid Sssh. Can you hear something? We can tell the difference between loud sounds and quiet sounds. Movement of the air - vibrations - are the basis for all sounds. What if we could collect MORE sound waves? Would we be able to hear even more sounds? Roll a large sheet of paper into a cone shape. Your homemade hearing aid works in the same way as your ears - it collects sound waves in the large end of the cone and funnels them into your ears.
Neural Correlates of Lyrical Improvisation: An fMRI Study of Freestyle Rap : Scientific Reports In this study, we used fMRI to investigate the neural correlates of spontaneous lyrical improvisation by comparing spontaneous freestyle rap to conventional rehearsed performance. Our results reveal characteristic patterns of activity associated with this novel form of lyrical improvisation, and may also provide more general insights into the creative process itself. It has been suggested that the creative behaviors could occur in two stages: an improvisatory phase characterized by generation of novel material and a phase in which this material is re-evaluated and revised1. The present study may provide clues to the mechanisms that underlie the initial, improvisatory phase. Our results suggest a model in which an elementary reorganization of brain activity facilitates improvisation and may generalize to other forms of spontaneous creative behavior. The widespread changes identified by the foregoing analysis are suggestive but incomplete.
Creating a soundscape – A music unit for years 3–4 Introduction Motivation | Contents | Who could use this resource? In a balanced, high-quality music programme, students will experience the elements of music – beat, rhythm, pitch, tempo, dynamics, and tone colour – and the structures of music – form and texture – through the skills and understanding they gain during the programme.

I'm Charlotte Church. And This Is How Women Are Routinely Demoralized by the Music Industry... - Digital Music NewsDigital Music News The following speech was delivered at BBC 6 Music’s annual John Peel Lecture by Charlotte Church, who entered the music industry as a young teenager. Roughly 15 years later, her perspectives on the business have changed dramatically. “Thank you for coming to my lecture this evening. I’d like you to imagine a world in which male musicians are routinely expected to act as submissive sex objects. Picture Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z stripped down to a T-back bikini thong, sex kittin’ his way through a boulevard of suited-and-booted women for their pleasure. Before we all get a little too hot beneath the gusset, of course these scenarios are not likely to become reality, unless for comedy’s sake. It is a male-dominated industry, with a juvenile perspective on gender and sexuality. From what I can see, there are three main roles that women are allowed to fill in modern pop music. When I was 19 or 20, I found myself in this position, being pressured into wearing more and more revealing outfits.
