Spring School on Language, Music, and Cognition: Organizing Events in Time
The interdisciplinary spring school âLanguage, music, and cognition: Organizing events in timeâ was held from February 26 to March 2, 2018 at the Institute of Musicology of the University of Cologne. Language, speech, and music as events in time were explored from different perspectives including evolutionary biology, social cognition, developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience of speech, language, and communication, as well as computational and biological approaches to language and music. There were 10 lectures, 4 workshops, and 1 student poster session.
Overall, the spring school investigated language and music as neurocognitive systems and focused on a mechanistic approach exploring the neural substrates underlying musical, linguistic, social, and emotional processes and behaviors. In particular, researchers approached questions concerning cognitive processes, computational procedures, and neural mechanisms underlying the temporal organization of language and music, mainly from two perspectives: one was concerned with syntax or structural representations of language and music as neurocognitive systems (i.e., an intrapersonal perspective), while the other emphasized social interaction and emotions in their communicative function (i.e., an interpersonal perspective). The spring school not only acted as a platform for knowledge transfer and exchange but also generated a number of important research questions as challenges for future investigations
09051 Abstracts Collection -- Knowledge representation for intelligent music processing
From the twenty-fifth to the thirtieth of January, 2009, the
Dagstuhl Seminar 09051 on ``Knowledge representation for intelligent music
processing\u27\u27 was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Centre for Informatics.
During the seminar, several participants presented their current
research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts
of the presentations and demos given during the seminar as well as
plenary presentations, reports of workshop discussions, results and
ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the
seminar topics and goals in general, followed by plenary `stimulus\u27
papers, followed by reports and abstracts arranged by workshop
followed finally by some concluding materials providing views of both
the seminar itself and also forward to the longer-term goals of the
discipline. Links to extended abstracts, full papers and supporting
materials are provided, if available.

Gesture cutting through textual complexity: Towards a tool for online gestural analysis and control of complex piano notation processing
International audienceThis project introduces a recently developed prototype for real-time processing and control of complex piano notation through the pianistâs gesture. The tool materializes an embodied cognition-influenced paradigm of interaction of pianists with complex notation (embodied or corporeal navigation), drawing from latest developments in the computer music fields of musical representation (augmented and interactive musical scores via INScore) and of multimodal interaction (Gesture Follower). Gestural, video, audio and MIDI data are appropriately mapped on the musical score, turning it into a personalized, dynamic, multimodal tablature. This tablature may be used for efficient learning, performance and archiving, with potential applications in pedagogy, composition, improvisation and score following. The underlying metaphor for such a tool is that instrumentalists touch or cut through notational complexity using performative gestures, as much as they touch their own keyboards. Their action on the instrument forms integral part of their understanding, which can be represented as a gestural processing of the notation. Next to the already mentioned applications, new perspectives in piano performance of post-1945 complex notation and in musicology (âperformative turnâ), as well as the emerging field of âembodied and extended cognitionâ, are indispensable for this project
