Current research is a qualitative phenomenological analysis, structured on Heidegger's existential analysis, whose aim was the perception of cancer patients' relatives who live with subjects with cancer and with anticancer treatment, about the musical encounters. Five subjects living at the clinic run by the Maringá Female Network against Cancer participated at eight musical encounters during January and February 2011. The meeting mediated by the music can provide the relatives with a moment of existential introspection which lead them to a transcendental experience in coping with their existential condition. It inspired the expression of subjectivity and the revealing of their existential / spiritual needs. Within the context of cancer palliative care, the encounters may broaden the integration and humanization possibilities of nursing care to the family, providing comfort, reflection and motivation in the wake of emergent adversities within the clinic's temporal term.

Interactive segmentation allows active user participation to enhance output quality and resolve ambiguities. This may be especially indispensable to medical image segmentation to address complex anatomy and customization to varying user requirements. Existing approaches often encounter issues such as information dilution, limited adaptability to diverse user interactions, and insufficient response.

There is a broad consensus in groove research that the experience of groove, understood as a pleasurable urge to move in response to music, is to some extent related to the complexity of the rhythm. Specifically, music with medium rhythmic complexity has been found to motivate greater urge to move compared to low or high complexity music (inverted-U hypothesis). Studies that confirmed the inverted-U hypothesis usually based their measure of complexity on the rhythmic phenomenon of syncopation, where rhythms with more and/or stronger syncopation are considered to be more complex than less syncopated rhythms.
