This handbook will describe workflows for scholarly research activities.

Internal CNMAT peer review is required for all papers you submit with a CNMAT affiliation.
We use the Drupal Case Tracker, Publications nodes and Calendar to organize this process.

Create a case for each paper for the primary author.
Develop notes on the content as comments to that node.
Use the Case Tracker to flag the papers motion through the submission/acceptation/publishing process.

A collection of simple synths.

A package for scheduling events based on a signal-driven metronome.

A package containing patches for processing data from Wacom Tablets.

A package of patches for calibrating incoming data.

Music provides an especially interesting laboratory for the study of cognition. Because so much musical behavior is non-linguistic in nature, music tends to challenge dominant linguistic paradigms, which reduce all cognition to rational thought processes such as problem solving, deductive reasoning, and inference.

How might we connect the theoretical framework of embodied cognition with the study of music?

In this chapter I shall turn to the concept of meter, and its role in shaping our musical perceptions. The first question to ask is why we have meter at all. I shall stress that meter has some special status among the various time spans of music, and in particular that its function is both established and constrained by our embodied perceptual and cognitive abilities.

In this chapter I discuss a class of models for rhythmic tapping that have developed in the literature over the last few decades. I discuss what I see as a shortcoming of these models, from which I suggest a supplementary view that allows for different mental processes at different timescales.

My overall thesis has been that music perception and cognition are embodied activities, depending crucially on the tangible features of our sensorimotor apparatus, and also on the sociocultural environment in which music perception, cognition, and production are situated.

# Notes:

Configuring Subversion

After you install subversion you should put CNMAT's long list of "global-ignores" in your .subversion/config file

Why?

Subversion can be configured to "ignore" certain files, which mainly means not to try to check them into the repository if they appear in a folder. You mainly need this for files that are created by the build process, which don't belong in the repository. By default Subversion comes configured with a pretty conservative list of these files; I've added quite a few.

How?

NOTE: This information no longer applies to users accessing the CNMAT subversion server!

Why?

July 23-27, 11 AM -4 PM
(Lecture 11-12, lunch break 12-1, lab session with instructor support 1-4)
CNMAT, 1750 Arch Street, Berkeley, CA
Instructors: Adrian Freed

The format will be short morning lectures and demonstrations and late morning and afternoon supervised lab sessions. There will be plenty of scope for discussions and private access to instructors for guidance and mentoring.

# Mac OSX:

- Use the Subversion package by Martin Ott: [http://homepage.mac.com/martinott/] (or build it from source, or using Fink or DarwinPorts)
