Visualization has the capacity of converting auditory perceptions of music into visual perceptions, which consequently opens the door to music visualization (e.g., exploring group style transitions and analyzing performance details). Current research either focuses on low-level analysis without constructing and comparing music group characteristics, or concentrates on high-level group analysis without analyzing and exploring detailed information. To fill this gap, integrating the high-level group analysis and low-level details exploration of music, we design a musical semantic sequence visualization analytics prototype system (MUSE) that mainly combines a distribution view and a semantic detail view, assisting analysts in obtaining the group characteristics and detailed interpretation. In the MUSE, we decompose the music into note sequences for modeling and abstracting music into three progressively fine-grained pieces of information (i.e., genres, instruments and notes). The distribution view integrates a new density contour, which considers sequence distance and semantic similarity, and helps analysts quickly identify the distribution features of the music group. The semantic detail view displays the music note sequences and combines the window moving to avoid visual clutter while ensuring the presentation of complete semantic details. To prove the usefulness and effectiveness of MUSE, we perform two case studies based on real-world music MIDI data. In addition, we conduct a quantitative user study and an expert evaluation.

Objectives/hypothesis: This study investigated the effects of the "crack-sob" onset-a distinctive vocal technique combining a sob gesture with an intentional pitch break-on vocal fold function during high-intensity singing. We hypothesized that this onset would either decrease glottal adduction and increase vocal fold vibration stability or alternatively, show no measurable effects while still providing perceived benefits to singers.
Study Design: Prospective observational cohort study.

In order to explore music therapy methods suitable for different types of students, this paper analyzes students' daily behavioral habits, studies the motivations and sources of their mental health activities, and constructs a student mental health data processing system based on network application development tools. Using .net application development tools as the main tool, a student mental health data information processing system is simulated and designed.

This study investigates whether daytime naps facilitate perceptual learning of Cantonese tones and how prior knowledge mediates the consolidation effect. Ninety Mandarin native speakers were pseudo-randomly assigned to either a nap group, who napped for 1.5 h with brain activities recorded, or the non-nap group, who rested for 1.

This empirical study examines the influence of hybrid musical genres on innovation in education, sustainability awareness, and student engagement within the context of music education. The research employed a quantitative methodology with a structured questionnaire adapted from previous studies, focusing on four dimensions of hybrid musical genres: cultural fusion, genre blending, innovation in composition, and technological integration. The sample consisted of students from various educational institution, primarily aged between 18 and 22 years, who provided data through a Likert-scale based survey.

Auditory motion stimulation is a promising new therapeutical approach for visual neglect, whereby patients listen to music which repeatedly moves from the ipsi - to the contralateral hemispace. In this study, we investigated the feasibility, enjoyability, and efficacy of auditory motion simulation in an inpatient neurorehabilitation setting. 30 patients with left-sided visual neglect due to a right-hemispheric subacute stroke participated in the study.
