Mapping symbols to sounds: electrophysiological correlates of the impaired reading process in dyslexia
2012
Dyslexic and control first-grade school children were compared in a Symbol-to-Sound matching test based on a non-linguistic audiovisual training which is known to have a remediating effect on dyslexia. Visual symbol patterns had to be matched with predicted sound patterns. Sounds incongruent with the corresponding visual symbol (thus not matching the prediction) elicited the N2b and P3a event-related potential (ERP) components relative to congruent sounds in control children. Their ERPs resembled the ERP effects previously reported for healthy adults with this paradigm. In dyslexic children, N2b onset latency was delayed and its amplitude significantly reduced over left hemisphere whereas P…
Enhancing improvisational music therapy through the addition of resonance frequency breathing : Common findings of three single-case experimental stu…
2018
One core characteristic of active music therapy is the facilitation of emotional expression through the creation of music improvisations. In an attempt to further develop this approach, we created an enhanced form of integrative improvisational music therapy by including 10 minutes of resonance frequency breathing (RFB) at the beginning of the sessions. RFB is a type of slowbreathing known for its ability to reduce stress and support emotional regulation. This paper summarizes the common findings of three single-case experimental studies and introduces a provisional model to explain the observed effects of RFB. During the breathing itself, all three clients (two of them healthy and one diag…
Who enjoys listening to sad music and why?
2011
although people generally avoid negative emotional experiences in general, they often enjoy sadness portrayed in music and other arts. The present study investigated what kinds of subjective emotional experiences are induced in listeners by sad music, and whether the tendency to enjoy sad music is associated with particular personality traits. One hundred forty-eight participants listened to 16 music excerpts and rated their emotional responses. As expected, sadness was the most salient emotion experienced in response to sad excerpts. However, other more positive and complex emotions such as nostalgia, peacefulness, and wonder were also evident. Furthermore, two personality traits – Opennes…
Videopelien musiikin tutkimus
2022
Tämä Musiikki-lehden teemanumero on ensimmäinen suomenkielinen antologia, joka kokoaa yhteen maassamme tehtävää pelimusiikin tutkimusta. Miksi tällainen julkaisu vuonna 2022? Erikoisnumeron ajoitusta voi näkökulmasta riippuen pitää kieltämättä yhtä hyvin joko aikaisena tai myöhäisenä. Aikainen julkaisu on sikäli, että pelimusiikin tutkimus ei ole vielä tätä tekstiä kirjoittaessamme erityisen vakiintunut tutkimusala Suomessa, puhuttiin sitten musiikkitieteen tai muiden lähialojen piirissä tehtävästä tutkimuksesta. Yksi tämän erikoisnumeron tavoitteita olikin tarjota Suomessa toimiville tutkijoille julkaisualusta ja hahmottaa sen kautta, millaisena alan tutkimus maassamme tällä hetkellä piirt…
Evaluación del estado de salud y nutricional de pacientes celiacos de la Comunidad Valenciana
2011
Celiac disease is an autoimmune pathology characterized by a chronic inflammation of the proximal part of the small intestine, caused by exposure to a vegetable protein present in some cereals called gluten. These cereals are wheat, barley, rye and, possibly by cross-contamination issues, oats. Due to a cell-mediated immune response towards gluten, changes in the structure and function of the small intestine mucosa occur, so the gut loses its ability to digest and absorb nutrients from food. The main symptoms are among others, chronic diarrhea, nutritional deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, increased risk of developing T-cell lymphoma, bloating and abdominal pain, steatorrhea, ma…
Taikoja ja tenhoa Oxfordissa: raportti Living in a Magical World: Inner Lives -konferenssista ja Spellbound-näyttelystä
2018
Oxfordissa pidettiin 17.–19. syyskuuta kuluvan vuoden merkittävin magian, esoteeristen alojen ja taikauskon tutkimuksen kansainvälinen konferenssi Living in a Magical World: Inner Lives, 1300–1900. Samaan aikaan Oxfordin Ashmolean Museumissa pyörii yhteistyössä konferenssijärjestäjien kanssa kuratoitu näyttely Spellbound. Magic, Ritual, Witchcraft (31.8.2018 – 6.1.2019), jossa on esillä laaja valikoima magian ja taikauskon historiaa keskiajalta 1900-luvulle. Lyhyt reportaasi arvioi sekä konferenssin että näyttelyn antia.
Aseemista okkultismia: Austin Osman Sparen maagiset monogrammit
2018
Austin Osman Spare (1886–1956) oli englantilainen okkultisti ja kuvataiteilija, joka kehitti uudenlaisen maagisen monogrammin luomisen tekniikan. Spare otti vaikutteita antiikista ja keskiajalta juontuvasta maagisten merkkien perinteestä, jonka keskeisiä tekstejä ovat olleet H. Cornelius Agrippan (1486–1535/1536) ja Giordiano Brunon (1548–1600) systemaattiset esitykset maagisista merkeistä. 1800-luvun lopun ja 1900-luvun alun Lontoossa Spareen puolestaan vaikuttivat uudet okkultistiset liikkeet, kuten Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Ordo Templi Orientis ja Aleister Crowleyn (1875–1947) perustama Argentium Astrum. Myöhemmin Sparen tekniikkaa on hyödynnetty erityisesti 1970-luvulla luodun …
Kids Inspire Kids for STEAM
2017
Abstract The goal of the Kids Inspiring Kids in STEAM (KIKS) project was to raise students' awareness towards the multi- and transdisciplinary connections between the STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics), and make the learning about topics and phenomena from these fields more enjoyable. In order to achieve these goals, KIKS project has popularized the STEAM-concept by projects based on the students inspiring other students-approach and by utilizing new technologies, tools, open educational resources, and everyday items and materials. Through the students-inspiring-other-students-approach, we have aimed to get participating students developing STEAM activitie…

Effect of Enculturation on the Semantic and Acoustic Correlates of Polyphonic Timbre
2011
polyphonic timbre perception was investigated in a cross-cultural context wherein Indian and Western nonmusicians rated short Indian and Western popular music excerpts (1.5 s, n = 200) on eight bipolar scales. Intrinsic dimensionality estimation revealed a higher number of perceptual dimensions in the timbre space for music from one's own culture. Factor analyses of Indian and Western participants' ratings resulted in highly similar factor solutions. The acoustic features that predicted the perceptual dimensions were similar across the two participant groups. Furthermore, both the perceptual dimensions and their acoustic correlates matched closely with the results of a previous study perfor…
