  Music psychology , or the  psychology of music , may be regarded as a branch of both  psychology  and  musicology . It aims to explain and understand  musical   behaviour  and  experience , including the processes through which music is perceived, created, responded to, and incorporated into everyday life. [1] [2]  Modern music psychology is primarily  empirical ; its knowledge tends to advance on the basis of interpretations of data collected by systematic  observation  of and interaction with  human participants . Music psychology is a field of research with practical relevance for many areas, including music  performance ,  composition ,  education ,  criticism , and  therapy , as well as investigations of human  attitude ,  skill ,  performance ,  intelligence ,  creativity , and  social behavior .

  A generative theory of tonal music   (GTTM) is a theory of music [1]   conceived by American composer and music theorist   Fred Lerdahl   and American linguist   Ray Jackendoff   and presented in the 1983 book of the same title. It constitutes a "formal description of the musical intuitions of a listener who is experienced in a musical idiom" [1]   with the aim of illuminating the unique human capacity for musical understanding. [2] The musical collaboration between Lerdahl and Jackendoff was inspired by  Leonard Bernstein 's 1973  Charles Eliot Norton Lectures  at Harvard University, wherein he called for researchers to uncover a musical grammar that could explain the human musical mind in a scientific manner comparable to  Noam Chomsky 's revolutionary  transformational  or  generative grammar . [3] Unlike the major methodologies of music analysis that preceded it, GTTM construes the mental procedures under w...

  A   harmonic series   (also   overtone series ) is the sequence of   frequencies ,   musical tones , or   pure tones   in which each frequency is an   integer   multiple of a   fundamental . Pitched   musical instruments  are often based on an acoustic  resonator  such as a string or a column of air, which  oscillates  at numerous  modes  simultaneously. At the frequencies of each vibrating mode, waves travel in both directions along the string or air column, reinforcing and canceling each other to form  standing waves . Interaction with the surrounding air causes audible  sound waves , which travel away from the instrument. Because of the typical spacing of the  resonances , these frequencies are mostly limited to integer multiples, or  harmonics , of the lowest frequency, and such multiples form the  harmonic series . The musical  pitch  of a note is usua...

  Psychoacoustics  is the branch of  psychophysics  involving the scientific study of  sound   perception  and  audiology —how humans perceive various sounds. More specifically, it is the branch of science studying the  psychological  responses associated with sound (including  noise ,  speech , and  music ). Psychoacoustics is an interdisciplinary field of many areas, including psychology, acoustics, electronic engineering, physics, biology, physiology, and computer science. Hearing is not a purely mechanical phenomenon of  wave propagation , but is also a sensory and perceptual event; in other words, when a person hears something, that something arrives at the  ear  as a mechanical sound wave traveling through the air, but within the ear it is transformed into neural  action potentials . The outer hair cells (OHC) of a mammalian  cochlea  give rise to enhanced sensitivity and better [ clarif...

  A  synthesizer  (also spelled  synthesiser ) [1]  is an  electronic musical instrument  that generates  audio signals . Synthesizers generate audio through methods including  subtractive synthesis ,  additive synthesis , and  frequency modulation synthesis . These sounds may be shaped and modulated by components such as  filters ,  envelopes , and  low-frequency oscillators . Synthesizers are typically played with  keyboards  or controlled by  sequencers , software, or other instruments. Synthesizers may be connected to other equipment via  MIDI .

  A   music video game , also commonly known as a   music game , is a   video game   where the   gameplay   is meaningfully and often almost entirely oriented around the player's interactions with a   musical   score or individual   songs . Music video games may take a variety of forms and are often grouped with   puzzle games [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]   due to their common use of "rhythmically generated puzzles". [7] [8] Music video games are distinct from purely  audio games  (e.g. the 1997  Sega Saturn  release  Real Sound: Kaze no Regret ) in that they feature a visual feedback, to lead the player through the game's soundtrack, although eidetic music games can fall under both categories.

  Algorithmic composition   is the technique of using   algorithms   to create   music . Algorithms (or, at the very least, formal sets of rules) have been used to  compose  music for centuries; the procedures used to plot  voice-leading  in Western  counterpoint , for example, can often be reduced to algorithmic determinacy. The term can be used to describe music-generating techniques that run without ongoing human intervention, for example through the introduction of  chance  procedures. However through  live coding  and other interactive interfaces, a fully human-centric approach to algorithmic composition is possible. [1] Some algorithms or data that have no immediate musical relevance are used by composers [2]  as creative inspiration for their music. Algorithms such as  fractals ,  L-systems ,  statistical models , and even arbitrary  data  (e.g.  census  figures,  GI...

  A   Musikalisches Würfelspiel   (German for "musical dice game") was a system for using   dice   to randomly   generate   music   from   precomposed   options. These games were quite popular throughout Western Europe in the 18th century. Several different   games   were devised, some that did not require dice, but merely choosing a   random   number . The earliest example is  Johann Kirnberger 's  Der allezeit fertige Menuetten- und Polonaisencomponist  (German for "The Ever-Ready Minuet and Polonaise Composer") (1757 [1st edition; revised 2nd 1783]). [1]  Examples by well known composers include  C. P. E. Bach 's  Einfall, einen doppelten Contrapunct in der Octave von sechs Tacten zu machen, ohne die Regeln davon zu wissen  (German for "A method for making six bars of double counterpoint at the octave without knowing the rules") (1758) and  Maximilian Stadler 's  Table p...

  Johann Philipp Kirnberger   (also   Kernberg ; 24 April 1721,   Saalfeld   – 27 July 1783,   Berlin ) was a musician, composer (primarily of   fugues ), and   music theorist . He was a student of   Johann Sebastian Bach . [1] According to Ingeborg Allihn, Kirnberger played a significant role in the intellectual and cultural exchange between Germany and Poland in the mid-18th century (Allihn 1995, 209). Between 1741 and 1751 Kirnberger lived and worked in Poland for powerful magnates including Lubomirski, Poninski, and Rzewuski before ending up at the Benedictine Cloister in  Lviv  (then part of  Poland ). He spent much time collecting Polish national dances and compiled them in his treatise Die Charaktere der Taenze (Allihn 1995, 211). A  Musikalisches Würfelspiel  (German for "musical dice game") was a system for using  dice  to randomly  generate   music  from  precomposed  optio...

  Laura Maria Caterina Bassi Veratti  (29 October 1711 – 20 February 1778) was an Italian physicist and academic. Recognized and depicted as " Minerva " (goddess of wisdom), she was the first woman to have a doctorate in science, and  the second woman in the world to earn the Doctor of Philosophy degree . [1] [2]  Working at the  University of Bologna , she was also the first salaried female teacher in a university. At one time the highest paid employee of the university, by the end of her life Bassi held two other professorships. [3]  She was also the first female member of any scientific establishment, when she was elected to the  Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna  in 1732 at 21.

Eleni Karaindrou  ( Greek :  Ελένη Καραΐνδρου , born 25 November 1941) is a  Greek   composer . She is best known for scoring the films of the Greek director  Theo Angelopoulos .
