Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Computed Tomography

8.9K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Design Example: Traverse Angle Computations

343
Traverse angle computations are a critical component of surveying, used to compute the internal angles within a closed traverse. A traverse consists of a series of connected lines forming a closed loop, often used for land boundary delineation or mapping. Calculating the internal angles ensures accuracy in the traverse geometry and is essential for checking survey data integrity.The process begins with known azimuths and bearings of the traverse sides. Internal angles at each vertex are...

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance

544
Frustration occurs when people are obstructed or prevented from achieving a desired goal or fulfilling a perceived need. For example, when someone's input is ignored in a discussion, it can lead to feelings of frustration. Conflict, however, arises from opposing interests, goals, or actions. Conflicts can take various forms based on the nature of these opposing desires or goals.
One common type of conflict is the Approach–Approach Conflict. In this case, a person faces two desirable...

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method

663
The alternative coordinate method, also known as the Shoelace Formula, is a technique for determining the area of a traverse using Cartesian coordinates. This method relies on the sequential arrangement of x and y coordinates for each point of the shape, ensuring accuracy and ease of application.In this approach, each corner's x and y coordinates are listed as fractions, with the x-coordinate as the numerator and the y-coordinate as the denominator. These coordinates are arranged sequentially...

Area of Science:

  • Psychoacoustics
  • Music Theory
  • Dynamical Systems Theory
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Musical consonance and dissonance have historical roots in mathematical ratios, notably discovered by Pythagoras.
  • Auditory perception of harmony arises from small-integer frequency ratios, while most combinations produce dissonant "beats" or "roughness."
  • Second-order beats, a product of neural processing, offer a new avenue for understanding auditory perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between second-order beats and the perception of musical consonance and dissonance.
  • To demonstrate the utility of Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) in modeling auditory perception.
  • To provide a computational framework for understanding consonance within dynamical systems theory.

Main Methods:

  • Generated computer sounds encompassing all musical intervals within an octave.
  • Utilized a glissando from unison to octave to visualize second-order beats.
  • Applied Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) to analyze the recurrence patterns in the acoustic signals.

Main Results:

  • RQA successfully reconstructed the ranking order of musical intervals based on their perceived harmony.
  • Higher recurrence peaks in the RQA analysis corresponded precisely to just intonation frequency ratios.
  • A direct link was established between auditory consonance and the dynamical features of acoustic signals.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a computational account of consonance perception using dynamical systems theory.
  • Findings suggest a universal aspect of consonance and dissonance perception across different acoustic signals.
  • RQA offers a simple mathematical tool for future neuro-psychological and music theory research.
