The development of musical talent: Empirical evidence, methodological challenges, and a new model.

The term talent can be problematic when used in the context of musical development because of its biased association with the nature / nurture debate. However, we suggest a new definition of musical talent that is not partisan to either side of that debate but lends itself to empirical investigations of individual differences in terms of speed and ease of musical learning.

Cross-Cultural Research in Music Cognition: Methodologies, Pitfalls, and Practices

Over the past few years, cross-cultural research has become an increasingly important tool for understanding the cultural and biological factors that influence music. At the same time, cross-cultural work carries many pitfalls, as the recent history of the comparative human sciences attests, and is therefore vulnerable to (frequently justified) criticism. This workshop aims to address the gulf that can exist between scientists and ethnomusicologists in conceptualizing and interpreting cross-cultural research.

Workshop - Recurrence Quantification Analysis of Multivariate Signals

This workshop at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics provides hands-on training for analyzing multivariate timeseries data using Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) techniques in R.

This workshop provides hands-on training for analyzing multivariate timeseries data using Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) techniques in R.

Content-wise, the focus lies on the analysis of timeseries/sequences of joint action and group behavior (such as motion capture, physiological measures, sequences of coded behavior, transcripts etc…) in order to quantify group-dynamics such as synchrony and coupling between individuals, as well as leader-follower relationships. However, the analysis can be applied to any multivariate timeseries data.

To that end, we will introduce RQA techniques – particularly Cross-Recurrence Quantification Analysis (CRQA) and Multidimensional Recurrence Analysis (MdRQA) – which have been employed in a variety of group- and joint-actions studies. We will provide some theoretical input for participants, but focus on hand-on training with R using simulated and real-world data.

Participants are welcome to bring their own data, which they can analyze during the training sessions or together with the instructors at the end of the workshop.

Instructors are Sebastian Wallot, PhD, Language and Literature, Max Planck Insitute for Empirical Aesthetics, and Giuseppe Leonardi, PhD, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Paderborn University, Germany

IDEA lecture: Daniel Müllensiefen
The psychology of aesthetic experience from three angles: Stimulus features, psychometrics and behavioral economics

Describing aesthetics experiences with scientific models is a complex task, but there seems to be an emerging consensus that three main areas contribute to psychological experiences of aesthetic stimuli: 1) elements of the aesthetic object itself, 2) characteristics of the person, and 3) situational as well as contextual information. Taking music as an example domain we will demonstrate rigorous approaches that allow the construction of empirical models within each of the three areas. 1) We suggest that the comprehensive computational analysis of stimulus features of aesthetic objects can be employed to describe relationships with psychological responses (Jakubowski, Müllensiefen & Stewart, 2016; van Balen et al., 2015). In addition we will discuss new strategies going beyond mere feature analysis to gain a deeper understanding of how elements of the aesthetic object are causally linked to perceptual and cognitive responses. 2) For assessing characteristics of the individual we advocate the use of modern psychometric techniques such as item response theory, automatic item generation and adaptive testing (e.g. Harrison, Collins & Müllensiefen, 2017). Through examples we’ll show how ambiguous empirical results are often caused by fundamental measurement problems and by ignoring individual differences. 3) In addition, we’ll present experimental approaches (Anglada-Tort & Müllensiefen, 2017) inspired by paradigms from behavioral economics (Kahneman, 2011) that aim to assess the degree to which biases and heuristics introduced through the situational context affect human judgements of aesthetic stimuli.
The unifying conceptual bracket of these approaches is a thorough understanding of causality (Pearl, 2011) and its implementation in experimental and observational research. Finally, we’ll make sure the talk will be more fun than this abstract is able to convey!

Neural Oscillations in Speech and Language Processing

Neuere Ergebnisse der auditorischen Neurowissenschaft zeigen, dass neurale Oszillationen sich während der Sprachverarbeitung mit den Rhythmen gesprochener Sprache synchronisieren. Auf höheren Verarbeitungsebenen spiegeln Zyklen kortikaler Erregung und Inhibierung auch Funktionen der syntaktischen und semantischen Verarbeitung wieder. Dieses internationale Symposium bringt führende Sprachforscherinnen und Neurowissenschaftler, die auf dem Feld der neuralen Oszillationen arbeiten, zusammen. Durch intensive Diskussionen und Präsentationen aktueller Arbeiten werden wir die Basis einer einheitlichen Perspektive auf die Rolle neuraler Oszillationen bei der auditorischen Verarbeitung und dem Sprachverständnis legen – vom Phonem bis hin zur Grammatik.

Dieses Symposium findet in englischer Sprache statt.

IDEA lecture mit Steffen Lepa: Die Rolle der Audiomedien für das Emotionserleben beim alltäglichen Musikhören

Musik wird heute im Alltag vorwiegend mit Hilfe von Audiomedien gehört. Diese sich wandelnden Technologien verändern seit über 100 Jahren, wie Musik klingt, wie sie in soziale Kontexte eingebettet werden kann und wie sich ihre Hörer dabei körperlich erfahren. Dennoch wird die Rolle der Audiomedien bei der Entstehung musikalischer Emotionen von der musikpsychologischen Forschung heute noch größtenteils ausgeklammert. Der Vortrag stellt dieser Forschungslücke eigene und fremde empirische Arbeiten transdisziplinärer Audiomedienforschung gegenüber, die versuchen, der spezifischen Rolle der Technologien für den emotionalen Musikgenuss auf die Spur zu kommen.

IDEA-Lecture mit Frank Hentschel:
Ausdruckstypen in der Orchestermusik des 19. Jahrhunderts

Die expressive Qualität von historischer Musik zu bestimmen, ist ein überaus schwieriges Unterfangen, weil sich kaum Zeugnisse ausfindig machen lassen, die die emotionale Erfahrung von Musik schildern. In dem Vortrag möchte ich ein geplantes Forschungsunternehmen vorstellen, das nach Wegen sucht, diese Schwierigkeit zu überwinden. Das Projekt soll historisch-interpretierende Verfahren mit Methoden der Digital Humanities verknüpfen, indem das Konzept des Musters Anwendung findet. Die Identifizierung von Mustern in der Orchestermusik soll es ermöglichen, die Aussagekraft der nur sporadisch vorliegenden Zeugnisse zu erhöhen.

Hören mit den Augen: Wie wir beim Hören sehen und wie das Sehen unser Hören beeinflusst

"Sehen und Hören gelten als zwei ganz verschiedene Sinnesleistungen. Und doch beeinflussen sich beide Systeme der Informationsaufnahme gegenseitig. Dazu vorgestellt werden zwei Studien: Mittels Blickbewegungsmessungen lässt sich zeigen, wie Musik auf unsere Blickbewegungssteuerung wirkt. Wie die Mimik und Gestik von Musikern unser Musikerleben und Urteil beeinflusst, zeigt ein Experiment."

Musik – Erleben im Konzert

Warum kaufen wir uns eine Eintrittskarte, um elegant gekleidet in einen Konzertsaal zu gehen und Musik zu hören? Wir könnten ja auch jederzeit in unserem Wohnzimmer eine CD mit der Aufnahme unserer Lieblingsstücke und -orchester hören, ohne Huster, Rascheln oder störenden Zwischenbeifall. Was macht den Unterschied in unserem subjektiven Empfinden aus? Liegt der Unterschied vielleicht darin, dass wir hier das Werden der Musik gemeinsam live verfolgen können? Dass wir sehen können, wie die Musikerinnen und Musiker sie mit vollem Körpereinsatz und expressiver Mimik hervorbringen? Dass der Funke zwischen Bühne und Publikum von Reihe zu Reihe überspringt? Doch was genau passiert eigentlich dabei? Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler des Max-Planck-Instituts für empirische Ästhetik in Frankfurt (M) sowie die Kuratorin für Musikinstrumente im Deutschen Museum gehen diesen und anderen Fragen nach.

Vortragende: Prof. Dr. Melanie Wald-Fuhrmann, Prof. Dr. Hartmut Grimm, Dr. Jutta Toelle, Silke Berdux

Kreative Schreibprozesse: Techniken und Sprachverständnis bei der Kreation und Manipulation literarischer Texte

Innerhalb der empirischen Literaturwissenschaft werden Texte immer wieder gezielt verändert um bestimmte Effekte messbar machen zu können. Solche Veränderungen können aber zu Verzerrungen und konfundierenden Effekten führen. Der aktive Austausch mit Schriftstellern und Lehrenden aus dem Bereich des Kreativen Schreibens soll dazu beitragen solche Störvariablen bei der experimentellen Textmanipulation besser ausschließen und das jeweilige Stimulus-Material besser kontrollieren zu können.
