Sound Perception:Encapsulating Intangible Voice Memories in a Physical Memento
We live in a very busy world with a variety of sensory stimulation including the olfactory, visual, tactile, and auditory. The five senses are triggered by our surroundings and help us to form meaning about the world.ⅰ Based on where someone grows up, she or he is introduced to various sites and sounds, affecting how they interpret the world. Sounds relate meaning through the association between hearing, memory and an event. Hearing is one of the learning processes, in which individuals give, receive, and store information. We typically rely on our five senses, which contribute to the process of understanding, communicating, and comprehending information. Moving beyond visual perception requires systematic attention to individual learning modalities.ⅱ Sound is one of the developing areas in the field of perception that moves beyond vision to help people understand nature, objects, narratives and varieties of perception. In order to comprehend how people hear, it is important to understand the role of perception. Sound functions as a signal, but also varies according to the capacity to hear. An individual’s physical ability to hear, and their unique experiences with sound, differ from one person to the next, and can result in a range of emotions and reactions. Certain sounds, like the voice of a loved one, also have the power to trigger emotion and convey meaning due to the association between hearing, memory and specific events from one›s past In short, the three aspects of sound perception–signal, hearing, and emotional reaction–play an integral role in auditory perception and the subjectivity of sound. However, the value of sound is often taken for granted or viewed as secondary to visual perception. This thesis will explore the value of sound perception by investigating two of its primary aspects–hearing and emotional response–in application to memory. Through a series of experiential objects, that trigger the senses. The aim is to utilize design to memorialize precious sounds in order to raise awareness about the emotional value of sound to the human experience
On Koszulity for operads of Conformal Field Theory
We study two closely related operads: the Gelfand-Dorfman operad GD and the
Conformal Lie Operad CLie. The latter is the operad governing the Lie conformal
algebra structure. We prove Koszulity of the Conformal Lie operad using the
Groebner bases theory for operads and an operadic analogue of the Priddy
criterion. An example of deformation of an operad coming from the Hom
structures is considered. In particular we study possible deformations of the
Associative operad from the point of view of the confluence property. Only one
deformation, the operad which governs the identity turns out to be confluent. We introduce a new Hom structure, namely
Hom--Gelfand-Dorfman algebras and study their basic properties.Comment: 24 page
