This article reviews recent research designed to elicit the neural mechanisms behind positive outcomes on biomarkers of the disease. Using novel music analytical and neurophysiological experimental methods, our results showed positive effects on epilepsy using 15-second gamma-band (40-Hz) complex tones as well as Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major (K448). We also observed greater effects with increased stimulus duration. Further analysis elicited effects localized to bilateral frontal brain regions due to transitions between musical phrases. Finally, music matched for patient preference from a range of musical styles was not as effective as 40-Hz tones or Mozart's K448. Understanding these results required expertise in both music and neuroscience, and could yield reliable music-based interventions for epilepsy that may also be transferable to other brain disorders.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"129 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42424935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surprisingly, these examples of achieving salience in neurophysiology and physics were anticipated two millennia ago by the Greek artist Zeuxis. When commissioned to paint a portrait of Helen of Troy, Zeuxis used a not dissimilar method of selection which still resonates today in the carnal artistry of Orlan. These examples reveal the important contribution of graphic methods to the depiction and hence the significance of salience in both the sciences and the humanities.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"48 1","pages":"43 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46895377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IEEE Spectrum: Technology, Engineering, and Science News], artificial intelligence has had a variable track-record of usefulness in situations where context and environmental knowledge are responsible for shaping human interactions. In 2021, providing contextually aware training to supervised machine learning is still a non-trivial task for AI models that involve complex systems. In addition, knowledge held only across distributed members of a community, within culture, or tacitly within the wider environment of the ambient commons [McCullough 2013. Ambient Commons: Attention in the Age of Embodied Information. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press] evades consistent generalizable modelling – even in technical domains such as traffic flow management, atmospheric chemistry, or the prediction of election results. Yet it is precisely these interactions of context, community, culture and environment that also define how music can be created. The creative arts can themselves be thought of as a complex system. Assuming that creativity is non-generalizable, this paper assesses creative processes through a humanities-centric lens of machine learning and robotics, aiming to better understand relationships between context, environment and experimental system in artistic research. These relationships are now themselves significantly digitally mediated, requiring a change in academic discourse away from artefacts which need discrete research justification towards a more holistic, and often non-linear view of networks that require cultural situation. In doing so, issues of creative accountability [Field 2021. “Changing the Vocabulary of Creative Research: The Role of Networks, Risk, and Accountability in Transcending Technical Rationality.” In Sound Work: Composition as Critical Technical Practice, edited by J. Impett, 303–317.Orpheus Institute Series. Leuven: Leuven University Press] and the implications of substituting “creative question” for “research question” are examined within creative research. Early twentieth century ideas related to progressivism which have instrumentalized creative practice, particularly where technology forms part of art making, are challenged by re-thinking change through new models. The Three Horizons change model [Sharpe 2016. “Three Horizons: A Pathways Practice for Transformation.” Ecology and Society 21 (2): 47] originally intended to describe environmental ecosystems, is assessed as a practical tool for designing creative research.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"185 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48204347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further exploration, tracing the millennia of primitive sound-processing strategies as well as the many contexts which involve body movements and rhythms, leads to the realization that a composer who ventures outside traditional stylistic conventions of music-making will benefit from attention to these factors. In conclusion, the author points out that music is created not only for portraying emotions and moods, but, like all art forms, with an infinite variety of manifestations, subject matter, and research modes.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"243 - 258"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42073512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A general account of musical metaphors hypothesizes that historical controversies over music’s capacity to communicate extramusical meaning are rooted in the problematic conceptual metaphor Meaning is Content and may be allayed by adopting an alternative, Meaning is Mapping. Historical practices of modelling instrumental performance and composition on the voice (e.g. cantabile, The Singing Style) are conceived as conventional metaphors and various contemporary approaches to voice-based instrumental and electroacoustic composition are conceived as novel metaphors. A brief survey of contemporary practices illustrates some of the ways recent music has exploited vocality with examples from recent repertoire, and points of comparison between conventional and novel approaches to vocality are summarized.","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"573 ","pages":"259 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41274148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

McCarty","doi":"10.1080/03080188.2022.2031659","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03080188.2022.2031659","url":null,"abstract":"Readers will be aware that ISR publishes both unsolicited submissions and thematic collections. At the last meeting of the Editorial Board, with ISR’s criteria for interdisciplinary research in discussion, one of the members asked what unit is used to determine whether a submission is interdisciplinary, and so whether it qualifies for review. This question proved fruitful, as it raised the matter of the journal’s structure, or I should say, structures, according to which answering the question varies. At the meeting, I responded with a straightforward division into unsolicited submissions and contributions to guest-edited, thematic collections. Pondering further, other interesting problems arise. But first the criteria. For an individual, unsolicited submission, we look for an approach to its research question that attempts to find or negotiate common ground between the author’s native discipline (rarely, disciplines) and at least one other. Merely poaching a technique or result from one field and applying it to a question in another is not merely insufficient but acts on the wrong idea of interdisciplinary research. In other words, interdisciplinary research is crosscultural: it seeks common ground between different intellectual cultures, crucially not assuming but making visible the different assumptions inherent to them. The structure of a thematic issue varies but usually fits one of three kinds. It may be a relatively un-orchestrated collection from diverse perspectives, the theme brought out and discussed by the guest-editor’s initial essay. The next issue, The continuous in motion: Music and/as science, is an example. For the second kind, contributors from different disciplines or specialisms are asked to comment on an essay written beforehand by a senior scholar, who may then reply in an afterword. For the third, contributors respond to the interdisciplinary work of such a scholar (but not in the manner of a Festschrift). Examples of these three kinds are to be found in issues of ISR from the last dozen or so years. The structures I describe, that is, were not invented beforehand but came from proposals, or in at least one case, from an explicitly interdisciplinary lecture series unified by its theme. The problems I’ve called ‘interesting’ have to do precisely with that common ground, or as Marilyn Strathern put it in the title of a book, Commons and Borderlands: Working Papers on Interdisciplinarity, Accountability and the Flow of Knowledge (2004). Three painful truths: professional reward for genuinely interdisciplinary research is rare, understanding of what it entails hard to come by and doing it well exceedingly difficult. Once you eliminate the imperial panoptic illusion, as Stanley Fish instructed (1989) – that from a neutral stance all disciplines can be contemplated and drawn from at will – you are faced with the job of bridge-building, of ‘becoming interdisciplinary’, as I wrote some years ago (2016a, citing excellent writings o","PeriodicalId":50352,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Science Reviews","volume":"47 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42571031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
