Isomorphism of Pitch and Time
(Department of Music, University of Jyväskylä & Finnish Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research, 2016)
An ongoing debate regarding the perception of pitch and time is whether information on the two
dimensions is processed independently or interactively. To study this, we tested whether listeners
prefer sequences in which ...
Computational music analysis: from audio transcription to structural and stylistic analyses, everything is tightly intertwined
(2012)
The aim of this research is to conceive a comprehensive computational model for automated music analysis
where a large range of analytical and cognitive rules are combined and the interdependencies observed.
Besides the ...
Multifunctional flower strips - does such a thing exist?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Agricultural production is one of the key drivers of biodiversity loss in the world, and as a consequence of this some ecosystem services that are important for crop production are threatened. There is a plethora of different ...
Ethical challenges at the science-policy interface: building an ethical infrastructure for the EU support mechanism
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
EKLIPSE is an unusual EU project, which is developing a sustainable mechanism that supports better decisions on our environment, based on the best available knowledge.
Developing such EU support mechanism at the interface ...
Loss of natural Baltic salmon populations can severely reduce metapopulation capacity for retaining genetic variation
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The Atlantic salmon of the Baltic Sea is a species of high ecological importance and socioeconomic value. Historically, 94 rivers entering the Baltic Sea held wild salmon populations. Hydro-electric power plant construction ...
Urban parks and forests reduce physiological stress while cities do not: comparisons of visual virtual realities, bird songs and natural smells
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Stress is an increasing global health problem and particularly profound in cities. Previous research has showed that experiences of urban greenspaces have beneficial consequences for well-being and positive effects on ...
Dam removals in river restoration - bending the curve of weakened endangered status of migratory fish in Finland
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The endangered status of fishes in Finland has continuously weakened at each official assessment. WWF Finland (World Wide Fund for Nature) aims at bending this curve. Especially the migratory fish species bear high extinction ...
Can manipulation of ungulate herbivory facilitate biodiversity conservation for forest vegetation and invertebrates?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Livestock grazing and ‘overabundance’ of large wild herbivores in forests have long been perceived as conflicting with the aims of both silviculture and forest conservation; however, herbivory can also help to maintain ...
Enabling ecological intensification of agriculture through policy
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Ecological intensification is an innovative, knowledge-based approach to agriculture. It combines emerging understanding of how agro-ecosystems function with agronomic knowledge, to manage agricultural ecosystems in a way ...
