Investigating metaphors of musical involvement : Immersion, flow, interaction and incorporation
2018
The concept of immersion, despite being relatively unknown within music research, presents a potentially productive way for understanding the well acknowledged phenomenon of "being drawn into music". This paper 1) discusses immersion as a metaphor for conceptualizing musical involvement by drawing on the research into video games and virtual reality and 2) aims to clarify the metaphor of immersion by utilizing the concept of image schema to analyze it in relation to alternative metaphors of flow, interaction and incorporation. The theoretical stance of the paper is based on the paradigm of enactive cognitive sciences, which stresses the bodily, constructive and interactive nature of experie…
Locke and Active Perception
2014
This article examines whether Locke can consistently maintain that perception is a fully passive process. His view is put under scrutiny under two senses of activity. Does Locke reject active perception in light of his own understanding of activity; or rather, does he treat perception as passive in that the mind has only a general capacity of reception of ideas and does not contribute in specific ways to organizing specific types of perceptions? Locke’s view of perception is evaluated in these respects in three contexts: the role of noticing in perception, visual perception of shape, and reflection as a form of inner perception. It is argued that with respect to noticing and reflection Lock…
De la perception sensorielle à la consommation du vin. Partie 1/2 : Mécanisme de la perception sensorielle : reflet de la réalité
2010
National audience; Afin de percevoir son environnement et de pouvoir réagir en conséquence, l’être humain est équipé de capteurs sensoriels. Ces capteurs constituent une interface entre le sujet et le monde extérieur et quelle que soit la stimulation extérieure, ils mettent en jeu les mêmes mécanismes sensoriels. Lorsque les capteurs sensoriels rentrent en contact avec un stimulus, les informations engendrées sont amplifiées, puis transmises au système nerveux central sous forme de signaux électriques (Mac Leod et Sauvageot, 1986) après avoir été progressivement filtrées, réduites et stabilisées. Ces informations électriques sont caractérisées d’une part par une masse globale d’activité, co…
