Publisher's description: Music from South New Guinea presents the music of tribes settled between the Fly River and the West Arian. Included are songs and dances such as the badara, a traditional dance performed at social events and holidays that is characterized by an “elastic syncopation…created by the drum being slightly faster than the metre of the song….” Among native instruments featured are the burari (flute), the dárombi (similar to a jew’s harp), tátaro (bundled panpipe), and búrubur (hour-glass-shaped drum). Liner notes provide an overview of the history and music of South New Guinea, track notes, pictures, and musical transcriptions.

Crafting Your Own Native American Flute, total time 60 minutes, video DVD.
Catalog number CM-26V.
See the Shakuhachi.com web site
Publisher's description: Crafting Your Own Native American Flute will allow you to know the pure joy of working with beautiful wood and of crafting your own flute. You will play with the knowledge that you alone made this beautiful instrument. To play is to know the peaceful and quieting feelings much like those found in meditation.
This new 60 minute DVD video now makes it possible for anyone to craft their own Native American flute. The flute is traditionally crafted, double-chambered, and six hole, typical of the plains flute. It is native tuned and excellent for those new to Native American music as well as those who haven't yet experienced this type of flute. Like those of the original Americans, this instrument is meant to be played solo. It includes techniques that show the novice woodworker, as well as the accomplished artisan how to build this flute. It shows how to perform each operation using hand tools, as well as the same task using some power tools. Each step in construction is shown. It shows how to craft the barrel and how to craft the fetish figure with tips on how to design and make your own fetish or power animal. Each video comes with a full scale dimensioned drawing as an aid in construction.

“Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback as a Strategy for Dealing with Competitive Anxiety: A Case Study”,
Biofeedback, Volume 36, Number 3, 2008, pages 109–115.
Abstract: Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback (BFB) is a relatively new approach for helping athletes to regulate competitive stress. To investigate this phenomenon further, a qualitative case study examined the impact of HRV BFB on the mood, physiology, and sport performance of a 14-year-old golfer. The golfer met once per week at a university lab for 10 consecutive sessions of HRV BFB training that included breathing at a frequency of 0.1 Hz. The format and duration of sessions followed the HRV BFB protocol outlined previously by Lehrer, Vaschillo, and Vaschillo. Acute increases in total HRV, low-frequency HRV, and amplitude of oscillation at 0.1 Hz were observed during biofeedback practice. This effect became stronger across sessions, suggesting increases in baroreflex gain. Following HRV BFB, the golfer achieved his personal record score for 18 holes of golf, and his mean golf score (total number of shots per 18 holes of golf) was 15 shots lower than in his previous golf season. The golfer received no golf instructions during HRV BFB training. The results of this case study suggest that HRV BFB training may help the athlete cope with the stress of competition and/or improve neuromuscular function.

“Virtual Reality-Assisted Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback as a Strategy to Improve Golf Performance: A Case Study”,
Biofeedback, Volume 39, Number 1, 2011, pages 15–20.
Abstract: Growing evidence suggests that Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback (BFB) may improve sport performance by helping athletes cope with the stress of competition. This study sought to identify whether HRV BFB procedure impacted psychological, physiological, and sport performance of a collegiate golfer. This individual was randomly selected to participate in 10 weeks of HRV BFB training according to the protocol developed by Leher, Vaschillo, and Vaschillo (2000). During the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth weeks of the study, the golfer and principal investigator met at a virtual reality golf center to practice skills for breathing at resonance frequency during golf performance. Results of the golf performance and HR were recorded during nine holes of virtual reality golf before and after 10 weeks of HRV BFB training. Self-report questionnaires were administered also before and after HRV BFB training to measure symptoms of anxiety, stress, and sensation seeking. Physiological measures, including HRV and respiration rate, were recorded in the lab during the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth weeks of the study. Golf performance and HRV were recorded during nine holes of virtual reality golf. Reduction in symptoms of anxiety, stress, and sensation seeking and increases in total HRV, low-frequency HRV, and amplitude of oscillation at .1 Hz and sport performance improving were observed. This effect became stronger across 10 weeks of HRV BFB training, suggesting that HRV BFB may improve sport performance by helping athletes to cope with sport stress. A larger-scale study was conducted and is in the process of analysis to confirm these findings.

“Genetic Structure in African Populations: Implications for Human Demographic History”,
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, Volume 74, 2009, pages 395–402, doi:10.1101/sqb.2009.74.053
Abstract: The continent of Africa is the source of all anatomically modern humans that dispersed across the planet during the past 100,000 years. As such, African populations are characterized by high genetic diversity and low levels of linkage disequilibrium (LD) among loci, as compared to populations from other continents. African populations also possess a number of genetic adaptations that have evolved in response to the diverse climates, diets, geographic environments, and infectious agents that characterize the African continent. Recently, Tishkoff et al. (2009) performed a genomewide analysis of substructure based on DNA from 2432 Africans from 121 geographically diverse populations. The authors analyzed patterns of variation at1327 nuclear microsatellite and insertion/deletion markers and identified 14 ancestral population clusters that correlate well with self described ethnicity and shared cultural or linguistic properties. The results suggest that African populations may have maintained a large and subdivided population structure throughout much of their evolutionary history. In this chapter, we synthesize recent work documenting evidence of African population structure and discuss the implications for inferences about evolutionary history in both African populations and anatomically modern humans as a whole.

The Musical Brain — How Music Evokes Emotions and Related Positive Feelings,
Masters dissertation – Faculty of Medicine, Universiteit Utrecht.
Abstract: The power of music in eliciting physical reactions has been known since the ancient Greek cultures. The mechanisms behind it however, have long been unclear and are only just recently being unraveled. Numerous brain imaging studies have shown an increase in regional cerebral blood flow in the limbic system during self reported pleasure and strong physiological reactions, called chills, while listening to music. Actual feelings of reward can be evoked by music via dopamine release related activity in the nucleus accumbens, part of the limbic system. Different mechanisms could be responsible for eliciting feelings of reward and pleasure, such as violations of expectations of musical syntax, associative mechanisms or musical contagion. The idea that the strong positive effects of music can be of therapeutic use has lead to music being used as therapy in the Unites States since the forties. The ability of music therapy to relieve depressive symptoms as well as sustaining active patient involvement makes it an interesting method for treating depression. But the current main issue in depression is not necessarily failure of recovery, but the risk of relapse after recovery. Deficits in the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex are suggested to correspond to deep-seated cognitive vulnerability, which is an important factor contributing to relapse. Music has been shown to modify these brain structures. Therefore, in the current review, music is proposed as source of self therapy for ameliorating depressive symptoms in order to prevent relapse.

Abstract: In this article, the four main problems involved in reconstructing ancient Greek auloi are discussed, namely (i) the remains are incomplete, damaged, and not a representative sample, (2) theoretical calculations from resonant lengths do not take account of the vagaries of reeds or playing techniques, (3) Schlesinger's theory of equidistant holes is not supported by good evidence, and (4) the tone quality of the instrument cannot be reproduced without accurate knowledge of the reed construction.

Publisher's description: Music in Ancient Greece and Romeis a comprehensive introduction to the study of music from Homeric times to the Roman emperor Trajan. John G. Landels offers the first scholarly overview of the practical and performance elements of music, rather than the moral and aesthetic discussion typified by the works of Plato. Illustrated with transcriptions of surviving musical scores, diagrams and line-drawings of instruments and performers, the book explores the contexts in which music played a role, such as mythology and poetry. Detailed discussion is also given to the instruments, including the aulos, the kithara and the lyre, as well as the ingenious notation system devised by the Greeks which enables us to read the few surviving scores.

The American Statistician, Volume 55, Number 4, November 2001, pages 322–325, doi:10.1198/000313001753272286
Abstract: Suppose that X, Y, and Z are random variables and that X and Y are positively correlated and that Y and Z are likewise positively correlated. Does it follow that X and Z must be positively correlated? As we shall see by example, the answer is (perhaps surprisingly) "no." We prove, though, that if the correlations are sufficiently close to 1, then X and Z must be positively correlated. We also prove a general inequality that relates the three correlations. The ideas should be accessible to students in a first (postcalculus) course in probability and statistics.

Publication 40461485 on JSTOR (subscription access).
Abstract: The earliest musical instruments are found to derive from a common source: hunting implements. Loud instruments (percussion instruments, reeds, trumpets) were used to call or repulse the prey and to signal between hunters. Quiet instruments (flutes, musical bows, bullroarers) had alternate uses as hunting tools (dagger edges, hunting bows and bolas, respectively). It is argued that "hand-song" was another, previously overlooked, early instrument used for signalling. Some literary sources from ancient Greece and China as well as iconographic material from Egypt and Mexico provide late descriptions of the music/hunt association.

The Development of Flutes in North America
Abstract: Among the ways in which traditional narratives shed light on prehistory, regional variations in shared myths provide insights concerning cultural conservatism or fluidity and the patterns of social interaction among groups. A comparative analysis of two myths recorded in numerous versions from southern California, western Arizona, and northern Baja California suggests that the region's traditional cultures were shaped by ongoing borrowing and innovation to a greater extent than has sometimes been supposed, and that individual narrative motifs typically had relatively short lifespans of a few centuries at most. Cultural interaction among the region's different peoples was evidently little constrained by disparate linguistic heritages, competing military alliances, or social and economic dissimilarities.

Abstract: This study measured the effect of low and high levels of vocal vibrato, employed by male and female performers, on the self-reported music listening preferences of upper elementary school children. A listening test was administered to 127 children from grades 4, 5, and 6 drawn from five classrooms in Lansing, Michigan. Test reliability was evaluated in terms of stability across time and internal consistency, and student behavior was observed during the test as an additional check on the validity of results. Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks tests disclosed a significant preference for low levels of vibrato and for male singers, expressed by both sexes. Both male and female listeners associated “strong” performances with male rather than female performers. The preference for low levels of vibrato and male singers was weaker in the case of female listeners, indicating an interaction between listener sex and the vocal vibrato and performer sex variables.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of four levels of tempo on the self-reported preferences of six different age-groups for traditional jazz music listening examples. The authors administered a listening test to 926 students in 45 classrooms from third grade through college level in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Test reliability was evaluated in terms of internal consistency, student behavior was observed during the test, and free-response feedback was solicited from the students at the end of the measurement procedure as an additional check on the validity of results. A Friedman analysis of variance disclosed a significant preference for increasingly faster tempi at every age level. These results confirm and extend those LeBlanc and McCrary obtained in a 1983 study that was limited to fifth- and sixth-grade students. Listener age exerted a strong influence on overall preference scores, which were highest with the youngest listeners (third grade), declined steadily to a low point at seventh grade, then rose again as age increased to the college level.

Abstract: We measured the music preference opinions of 2,262 listeners for examples of art musk, traditional jazz, and rock. Our subjects were enrolled in Grades 1 through college, and we also tested adults who were not college students. Participants ranged in age from 6 to 91 years. We found that music preference means for the different styles were comparatively similar across grade levels, and when style subtest scores were pooled to make a general index of music preference, a characteristic pattern of responding across grade levels emerged. Listeners in Grade 1 had a high level of preference, but preference levels then declined to a low point at Grade 6. From that point, preference steadily rose into the high school years, reaching its highest point at college level. Preference declined again for our adult group, which included a good representation of senior citizens. However, adult preference was higher than that of any other grade levels except Grade 1 and college.

Abstract: We tested the music listening preference opinions of 2,042 participants in Greece, Korea, and the United States using an 18 item listening test composed of art music, traditional jazz, and rock music examples. Listener ages ranged from 8 to 18 years, and listener gender was approximately equally distributed in each country. Age, country, and gender were all significant influences on music listening preference, but every variable was involved in significant two and three way interactions. We concluded that considerable caution must be exercised in attempting to apply research findings from one culture to predict music listening preference in another culture.

Abstract: There are multiple causes of acute parotid swelling, including viral and bacterial infections, duct obstruction, neoplasms and enlargement accompanying connective tissue disease. Another possible cause of parotid swelling is pneumoparotid. Patients with pneumoparotid typically present with painless swelling in the parotid region with crepitus on palpation. We present a rare case of pneumoparotid with initial presentation of viral parotitis in the epidemic area of mumps.

Publication 10.1525/mp.2015.32.5.445 on JSTOR (subscription access).
Abstract: Acoustic periodicity is an important factor for discriminating consonant and dissonant intervals. While previous studies have found that the periodicity of musical intervals is temporally encoded by neural phase locking throughout the auditory system, how the nonlinearities of the auditory pathway influence the encoding of periodicity and how this effect is related to sensory consonance has been underexplored. By measuring human auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) to four diotically presented musical intervals with increasing degrees of dissonance, this study seeks to explicate how the subcortical auditory system transforms the neural representation of acoustic periodicity for consonant versus dissonant intervals. ABRs faithfully reflect neural activity in the brainstem synchronized to the stimulus while also capturing nonlinear aspects of auditory processing. Results show that for the most dissonant interval, which has a less periodic stimulus waveform than the most consonant interval, the aperiodicity of the stimulus is intensified in the subcortical response. The decreased periodicity of dissonant intervals is related to a larger number of nonlinearities (i.e., distortion products) in the response spectrum. Our findings suggest that the auditory system transforms the periodicity of dissonant intervals resulting in consonant and dissonant intervals becoming more distinct in the neural code than if they were to be processed by a linear auditory system.

Abstract: This study investigates changes in autonomic nervous function through Qi-training. The power spectrum of heart rate variability (HRV) was examined in 20 sedentary healthy subjects and 20 Qi-trainees. It was found that Qi-training in healthy young subjects during controlled respiration increases the high frequency (HF) power and decreases the low frequency / high frequency (LF/HF) power ratio of HRV. These results support the hypothesis that Qi-training increases cardiac parasympathetic tone. In addition, Qi-trainees were found to have higher parasympathetic heart modulation compared with their age-matched, sedentary counterparts. This augmented HRV in Qi-trainees provides further support for long-term Qi-training as a possible non-pharmacological cardio-protective maneuver. In conclusion, Qi-training may stabilize the autonomic nervous system by modulating the parasympathetic nervous system.

Comprehensive Scale Catalog: Five-Tone Scales in Equal Temperament (2)
Description by Tai Hei Shakuhachi: This doctoral thesis (University of Sydny, 1993) looks at past and present processes of transmission within the tradition of the shakuhachi honkyoku ("original pieces"). The shakuhachi, an end-blown bamboo flute, has existed in Japan since the eighth century. since at least the fifteenth century, it has been used as a tool for spirituality, and has been particularly associated with Zen Buddhism. The honkyoku were composed, performed and transmitted within that spiritual context, especially during the Edo period (1600-1868) by mendicant priests called komuso ("priests of nothingness"). An understanding of the nature of the honkyoku was expressed in such concepts as honnin no kyoku (one's own piece), settai no ma (absolute timing), tettei on and ichi on jobutsu (one sound becoming Buddhahood).
A piece-specific genealogy chart for the honkyoku "Reibo" of the Oshu lineage is presented, which relies upon written and ancedotal material to trace two main lines of transmission. These lines transmit honkyoku which have become known as "Futaiken reibo", ('Reibo" of the Futai temple) and "Shoganken reibo" ('Reibo' of the Sogan temple). A comparative analysis of transcriptions of ten performances of thes "Reibo" pieces by six shakuhachi players representing these two line of transmission shows a high degree of variability and a number of patterns of similarities and differences. These patterns demonstrate the oral nature of the transmission, and allude to the process-oriented 'essence' of the honkyoku tradition.

Glossary of Native American Flute Terms
Abstract: This thesis presents a number of methods for the computational analysis of woodwind instruments. The Transmission-Matrix Method (TMM) for the calculation of the input impedance of an instrument is described. An approach based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is applied to the determination of the transmission-matrix parameters of woodwind instrument toneholes, from which new formulas are developed that extend the range of validity of current theories. The effect of a hanging keypad is investigated and discrepancies with current theories are found for short toneholes. This approach was applied as well to toneholes on a conical bore, and we conclude that the tonehole transmission matrix parameters developed on a cylindrical bore are equally valid for use on a conical bore.
A boundary condition for the approximation of the boundary layer losses for use with the FEM was developed, and it enables the simulation of complete woodwind instruments. The comparison of the simulations of instruments with many open or closed toneholes with calculations using the TMM reveal discrepancies that are most likely attributable to internal or external tonehole interactions. This is not taken into account in the TMM and poses a limit to its accuracy. The maximal error is found to be smaller than 10 cents. The effect of the curvature of the main bore is investigated using the FEM. The radiation impedance of a wind instrument bell is calculated using the FEM and compared to TMM calculations; we conclude that the TMM is not appropriate for the simulation of flaring bells.
Finally, a method is presented for the calculation of the tonehole positions and dimensions under various constraints using an optimization algorithm, which is based on the estimation of the playing frequencies using the Transmission-Matrix Method. A number of simple woodwind instruments are designed using this algorithm and prototypes evaluated.

Flute Crafting Dimensions
Abstract: A method is proposed to determine the transfer matrix parameters of a discontinuity in a waveguide with the finite element method (FEM). This is used to characterize open and closed woodwind instrument toneholes and develop expressions for the shunt and series equivalent lengths. Two types of toneholes are characterized: Unflanged toneholes made of thin material, such as found on saxophones and concert flutes, and toneholes drilled through a thick material, such as found on most instruments made of wood. The results are compared with previous tonehole models from the literature. In general, the proposed expressions provide a better fit across a wide range of frequencies and tonehole sizes than previous results. For tall toneholes, the results are in general agreement with previous models. For shorter tonehole heights, some discrepancies from previous results are found that are most important for larger diameter toneholes. Finally, the impact of a main bore taper (conicity) on the characterization of toneholes was investigated and found to be negligible for taper angles common in musical instruments.

Publication 1207.5490 on Archive.org (open access).
Abstract: The classical Transfer-Matrix Method (TMM) is often used to calculate the input impedance of woodwind instruments. However, the TMM ignores the possible influence of the radiated sound from toneholes on other open holes. In this paper a method is proposed to account for external tonehole interactions. We describe the Transfer-Matrix Method with external Interaction (TMMI) and then compare results using this approach with the Finite Element Method (FEM) and TMM, as well as with experimental data. It is found that the external tonehole interactions increase the amount of radiated energy, reduce slightly the lower resonance frequencies, and modify significantly the response near and above the tonehole lattice cutoff frequency. In an appendix, a simple perturbation of the TMM to account for external interactions is investigated, though it is found to be inadequate at low frequencies and for holes spaced far apart.

Abstract: We investigated the interplay of neural and hemodynamic mechanisms in postexercise hypotension (PEH) in hypertension. In 15 middle-aged patients with mild essential hypertension, we evaluated blood pressure (BP), cardiac output (CO), total peripheral resistance (TPR), forearm (FVR) and calf vascular resistance (CVR), and autonomic function [by spectral analysis of R-R interval and BP variabilities and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)] before and after maximal exercise. Systolic and diastolic BP, TPR, and CVR were significantly reduced from baseline 60-90 min after exercise. CO, FVR, and HR were unchanged. The low-frequency (LF) component of BP variability increased significantly after exercise, whereas the LF component of R-R interval variability was unchanged. The overall change in BRS was not significant after exercise vs. baseline, although a significant, albeit small, BRS increase occurred in response to hypotensive stimuli. These findings indicate that in hypertensive patients, PEH is mediated mainly by a peripheral vasodilation, which may involve metabolic factors linked to postexercise hyperemia in the active limbs. The vasodilator effect appears to override a concomitant, reflex sympathetic activation selectively directed to the vasculature, possibly aimed to counter excessive BP decreases. The cardiac component of arterial baroreflex is reset during PEH, although the baroreflex mechanisms controlling heart period appear to retain the potential for greater opposition to hypotensive stimuli.

Music Education Research International, Volume 4, 2010, pages 19–30.
Abstract: This article is a review of the literature in the physical, psychological, and social benefits of active music participation for healthy senior citizens. It shows a connection of these benefits to an overall quality of life of older adults. Evidence suggests that active music making has a positive effect on quality of life. Active music participation holds numerous benefits for senior citizens, including, but not limited to (a) an overall sense of physical and mental well-being, including the lessening of stress, pain and medication usage, (b) the slowing of age-related cognitive decline, (c) feelings of pleasure and enjoyment, (d) pride and a sense of accomplishment in learning new skills, (e) creation and maintenance of social connections, (f) a means of creative self-expression, and (g) the construction of identity at a time in life when sense of identity may be in flux.
Translation: 本文回顧與梳理了老年人積極參與音樂活動從而獲得的生理、心理、以及社會效益的研究文獻。研究發現,

Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, Volume 22, Number 2, June 1997, pages 95–109.
Publication 9341966 on PubMed/NCBI (subscription access).
Abstract: This pilot study compared biofeedback to increase respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) with EMG and incentive inspirometry biofeedback in asthmatic adults. A three-group design (Waiting List Control n = 5, RSA biofeedback n = 6, and EMG biofeedback n = 6) was used. Six sessions of training were given in each of the biofeedback groups. In each of three testing sessions, five min. of respiratory resistance and EKG were obtained before and after a 20-min biofeedback session. Additional five-min epochs of data were collected at the beginning and end of the biofeedback period (or, in the control group, self-relaxation). Decreases in respiratory impedance occurred only in the RSA biofeedback group. Traub-Hering-Mayer (THM) waves (.03-.12 Hz) in heart period increased significantly in amplitude during RSA biofeedback. Subjects did not report significantly more relaxation during EMG or RSA biofeedback than during the control condition. However, decreases in pulmonary impedance, across groups, were associated with increases in relaxation. The results are consistent with Vaschillo's theory that RSA biofeedback exercises homeostatic autonomic reflex mechanisms through increasing the amplitude of cardiac oscillations. However, deep breathing during RSA biofeedback is a possible alternate explanation.

Publication 10999236 on PubMed/NCBI (subscription access).
Abstract: Heart rate and blood pressure, as well as other physiological systems, among healthy people, show a complex pattern of variability, characterized by multifrequency oscillations. There is evidence that these oscillations reflect the activity of homeostatic reflexes. Biofeedback training to increase the amplitude of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) maximally increases the amplitude of heart rate oscillations only at approximately 0.1 Hz. To perform this task people slow their breathing to this rate to a point where resonance occurs between respiratory-induced oscillations (RSA) and oscillations that naturally occur at this rate, probably triggered in part by baroreflex activity. We hypothesize that this type of biofeedback exercises the baroreflexes, and renders them more efficient. A manual is presented for carrying out this method. Supporting data are provided in Lehrer, Smetankin, and Potapova (2000) in this issue.

Abstract:
Study Objectives: We evaluated the effectiveness of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback as a complementary treatment for asthma.
Patients: Ninety-four adult outpatient paid volunteers with asthma.
Setting: The psychophysiology laboratory at The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and the private outpatient offices of participating asthma physicians.
Interventions: The interventions were as follows: (1) a full protocol (ie, HRV biofeedback and abdominal breathing through pursed lips and prolonged exhalation); (2) HRV biofeedback alone; (3) placebo EEG biofeedback; and (4) a waiting list control.
Design: Subjects were first prestabilized using controller medication and then were randomly assigned to experimental groups. Medication was titrated biweekly by blinded asthma specialists according to a protocol based on National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guidelines, according to symptoms, spirometry, and home peak flows.
Measurements: Subjects recorded daily asthma symptoms and twice-daily peak expiratory flows. Spirometry was performed before and after each weekly treatment session under the HRV and placebo biofeedback conditions, and at triweekly assessment sessions under the waiting list condition. Oscillation resistance was measured approximately triweekly.
Results: Compared with the two control groups, subjects in both of the two HRV biofeedback groups were prescribed less medication, with minimal differences between the two active treatments. Improvements averaged one full level of asthma severity. Measures from forced oscillation pneumography similarly showed improvement in pulmonary function. A placebo effect influenced an improvement in asthma symptoms, but not in pulmonary function. Groups did not differ in the occurrence of severe asthma flares.
Conclusions: The results suggest that HRV biofeedback may prove to be a useful adjunct to asthma treatment and may help to reduce dependence on steroid medications. Further evaluation of this method is warranted.

Tribal Identification
Publisher's description: During the summer of 1963, Harvard linguist Karl V. Teeter traveled along the Saint John River, the great thoroughfare of Native New Brunswick, Canada, with his principal Maliseet consultant, Peter Lewis Paul. Together they recorded a series of tales from Maliseet elders whom Paul regarded as among the best Maliseet storytellers born before 1900, including Charles Laporte, Matilda Sappier, Solomon Polchies, William Saulis, and Alexander Sacobie. Paul also contributed eleven narratives of his own.
Tales from Maliseet Country presents the transcripts and translations of the texts Teeter collected, together with one tale recorded by linguist Philip S. LeSourd in 1977. The stories range from chronicles of shamanistic activity and mysterious events of the distant past, through more conventionally historical narratives, to frankly fictional yarns, fairy tales with roots in European traditions, and personal accounts of subsistence activities and reservation life. This entertaining and revealing volume testifies to the rich heritage of the Maliseets and the enduring vibrancy of their culture today.
Featuring a bilingual format, with Maliseet and English on facing pages, this is the first extensive collection to be published in the Maliseet language, a member of the far-flung Algonquian family spoken in New Brunswick. The volume is also the first to provide full phonemic transcriptions, including the notation of accentual contrasts, of the Maliseet tales. An authoritative introduction provides a guide to interpreting the texts.

Publisher's description: In Eskimo, the words meaning "to make poetry" and "to Breathe" derive from anerca, "the soul." A poem is words infused with breath, and making poems is as basic to life as eating or hunting. The poems themselves are regarded as unimportant - outpourings of the moment, discarded once they've been used. Since the Eskimo saw no need to save poems, it is fortunate that anthropologists and explorers who visited the Arctic in the last hundred years wrote many of them down, From this material Richard Lewis has selected 90 representative poems: magical chants, lullabies, songs to bring luck while hunting, songs to taunt enemies. Anthropologist Edmund Carpenter's fascinating introduction describes the people, their beliefs, and their ways of forming poetry. Bold graphic illustrations by Oonark complete this beautiful and significant book.

published by Thames & Hudson, London, 2002, 320 pages, ISBN 0-500-05117-8 (978-0-500-05117-7).
Description by Roger McDonald: Lewis-Williams proposed one of the most controversial and compelling theories about rock art and the beginnings of human image-making, based on a shamanistic model. He theorized that image-making in the caves some 35,000 years ago began with hallucinations ‘seen’ during altered states of consciousness. These altered states may have been triggered by psychoactive plant or mushroom use, sensory deprivation or other trance-inducing methods. The initial hallucinations ‘seen’ in these states were simple geometric patterns, that we can also ‘see’ under conditions of flickering light. As it is assumed that the human brain is physically the same as it was 35,000 years ago, we can say that contemporary humans ‘see’ the same visual stimuli as our prehistoric ancestors.

Abstract: Evidence of discrete scale invariance (DSI) in daytime healthy heart rate variability (HRV) is presented based on the log-periodic power law scaling of the heart beat interval increment. Our analysis suggests multiple DSI groups and a dynamic cascading process. A cascade model is presented to simulate such a property.

“Comparison of Heart Rate Variability Measured by ECG in Different Signal Lengths”,
Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, Volume 25, Number 2, 2005, pages 67–71.
Abstract: The measurement of heart rate variability, HRV, provides a noninvasive measurement of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. HRV can be measured with the variation of RR intervals exhibited in a sequence of ECG sample. For a short-term HRV, the measuring time is usually five minutes. However, there are still many expectations of shortening the measuring time to evaluate the ANS. In this paper we analyzed and compared three minute HRV measurement to five minute standard short-term HRV. In order to evaluate the measurement results based on three minute and five minute HRVs, four major measurements were calculated in this study. The first is the standard deviation of normal-beat to normal-beat intervals (SDNN). The second is the square root of the mean squared differences of successive difference normal-beat to normal-beat intervals (RMSSD). The third is the proportion of interval differences of successive normal-beat to normal-beat intervals greater than 50 ms (pNN50). The fourth is the ratio of low frequency energy to high frequency energy (LF/HF) based on Fourier analysis method. Results show that the HRV presented by both SDNN and LF/HF using the three-minute measuring data differs significantly from that using the five-minute measuring data. In addition, the characteristics of HRV under different heart rate conditions shows that faster heart rate will come out smaller HRV. In conclusion, the HRV analyzed based on three minutes measuring data would not be equaled to that of five minutes measuring data. At the same time, the conditions of heart rate need to be considered when heart rate variability was analyzed.

Ethnographic and Reference Flute Recordings
Lead paragraph: Emile Berliner and the Birth of the Recording Industry is a selection of more than 400 items from the Emile Berliner Papers and 108 Berliner sound recordings from the Library of Congress's Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division. Berliner (1851-1929), an immigrant and a largely self-educated man, was responsible for the development of the microphone and the flat recording disc and gramophone player. Although the focus of this online collection is on the gramophone and its recordings, it includes much evidence of Berliner's other interests, such as information on his businesses, his crusades for the pasteurization of milk and other public-health issues, his philanthropy, his musical composition, and even his poetry. Spanning the years 1870 to 1956, the collection comprises correspondence, articles, lectures, speeches, scrapbooks, photographs, catalogs, clippings, experiment notes, and rare sound recordings.

Abstract: Although Native American communities may lose their ancestral language or other aspects of their traditional culture, music seems to be more resistant to the continual onslaught of the dominant Euro-American culture. Even today, traditional music remains a vital part of Native American communities throughout the United States. In this article I examine one aspect of the musical' traditions of the Western Mono, specifically the different types of songs, and their functions within Western Mono society. First, I give a short synopsis of aboriginal Mono culture and society. Next, I discuss what little data have been published dealing with Mono music in the ethnographic literature. And finally, I present the data that I have collected.

Coincidence Theory: Seeking a Perceptual Preference for Just Intonation, Equal Temperament, and Pythagorean Intonation in Excerpts for Wind Instruments,
Ph.D. dissertation – The University of Southern Mississippi, 2008.
Abstract: Coincidence theory states that when the components of harmony are in enhanced alignment the sound will be more consonant to the human auditory system. An objective method of examining the components of harmony is by investigating alignment of the mathematics of a particular sound or harmony. The study examined preference responses to excerpts tuned in just intonation, Pythagorean intonation, and equal temperament. Musical excerpts were presented in pairs and study subjects simply picked one version from the pair that they perceived as the most consonant. Results of the study revealed an overall preference for equal temperament in contradiction to coincidence theory. Several additional areas for research are suggested to further investigate the results of this study.

Ergonomics of Holding a Native American Flute
Abstract: Major studies have shown that flutists report playing-related pain in the neck, middle/upper back, shoulders, wrists, and hands. The current survey was designed to establish the injury concerns of flute players and teachers of all backgrounds, as well as their knowledge and awareness of injury prevention and management. Questions addressed a range of issues including education, history of injuries, preventative and management strategies, lifestyle factors, and teaching methods. At the time of the survey, 26.7% of all respondents were suffering from flute playing-related discomfort or pain; 49.7% had experienced flute playing-related discomfort or pain that was severe enough to distract while performing; and 25.8% had taken an extended period of time off playing because of discomfort or pain. Consistent with earlier studies, the most common pain sites were the fingers, hands, arms, neck, middle/upper back, and shoulders. Further research is needed to establish possible links between sex, instrument types, and ergonomic set up. Further investigation is recommended to ascertain whether certain types of physical training, education, and practice approaches may be more suitable than current methods. A longitudinal study researching the relationship between early education, playing position, ergonomic set-up, and prevalence of injury is recommended.

Ergonomics of Holding a Native American Flute
Abstract: Concerning levels of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD) among flute players have been reported over a number of decades. However, recent research indicates that many flute players do not receive sufficient training in injury prevention during their studies. Identifying risks and preventing injuries is central to occupational, health and safety, yet there is little emphasis on this topic in instructional flute books and methods. Improving the ergonomic set-up of musicians is one way of minimising the risk of playing-related injuries occurring. This article recommends six injury prevention strategies based on ergonomic principles that flute teachers and band directors can apply in individual and ensemble teaching settings.

“Taijiquan: Chinese Philosophies and Kinetic Movements in Piano Pedagogy”,
Proceedings of the Redesigning Pedagogy: Culture, Knowledge and Understanding Conference, Singapore, May 2007, 2007, 20 pages.
Abstract: Vigorous debate over issues of traditional and modern methods of piano playing has occurred among researchers, pedagogues and performers during the past 100 years. In addition, due to the intensely competitive environment within which upper-level professional pianism occurs, there has been an increase in the attention educators have paid to injuries among pianists. Many researchers have argued over issues of performance-related movement, whether from psychological or anatomical perspectives. Nevertheless, there is an overall paucity of research that combines both approaches, embracing both internal and external sources of strength and movement in piano playing. In a spirit of cross-disciplinary study, I address this lacuna by suggesting the application of elements from taijiquan, as a concept for efficient use of strength input and injury prevention. I will discuss the principles of: stances, total body involvement for fingers, and body coordination in piano playing, along with the theory of yin and yang. Ethnomusicologists and music educators regularly analyse present practice to devise new means of improved application, and this research is no different, aiming to discover what Chinese classical theories offer to pianist and other instrumentalists. This present study reflects on my own five-year participation in taijiquan by focusing on two elements in the Chen style of taijiquan – the horse stance and total body involvement – and assesses their application within the field of piano pedagogy.

“Chinese Science in Relaxation: Piano Playing Technique Redefined”,
Australian Journal of Basic Sciences, Volume 5, Number 12, 2011, pages 1241–1248.
Abstract: This study first explores the issue of muscular contraction and relaxation in piano playing from a Chinese science perspective. The main aim of this article is to examine the classic Chinese concepts of yin and yang and how it forms the movement principle of taijiquan, then goes on to investigate this further as applied to the concept of relaxation in piano playing. Relaxation itself can be contentious especially when it is employed as a technique of movement which contradict its original character of passivity. In this paper, views about relaxation from piano pedagogues will be discussed. The research took on a practice-led approach. THis article highlights motion analysis in a philosophical perspective. The character of relaxation is redefined using the concept of yin and yang as an analytical tool.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 112, Issue 5, 2002, page 2285.
ISSN 0001-4966 (print).
Abstract: Sound recordings were made at a natural outdoor amphitheater in Chaco Canyon and in a reconstructed great kiva at Aztec Ruins. Recordings included computer-generated tones and swept sine waves, classical concert flute, Native American flute, conch shell trumpet, and prerecorded music. Recording equipment included analog tape deck, digital minidisk recorder, and direct digital recording to a laptop computer disk. Microphones and geophones were used as transducers. The natural amphitheater lies between the ruins of Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl. It is a semicircular arc in a sandstone cliff measuring 500 ft. wide and 75 ft. high. The radius of the arc was verified with aerial photography, and an acoustic ray trace was generated using cad software. The arc is in an overhanging cliff face and brings distant sounds to a line focus. Along this line, there are unusual acoustic effects at conjugate foci. Time history analysis of recordings from both sites showed that a 60-dB reverb decay lasted from 1.8 to 2.0 s, nearly ideal for public performances of music. Echoes from the amphitheater were perceived to be upshifted in pitch, but this was not seen in FFT analysis. Geophones placed on the floor of the great kiva showed a resonance at 95 Hz.

Abstract: A large performance space attached to a natural amphitheater in a cliff face has recently been identified at the geometric center of the precolumbian (“Anasazi”) architectural complex in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. The Amphitheater is a semicircular arc of sandstone measuring approximately 167m wide by 30m high. Sound recordings of computer-generated tones and swept sine waves, classical flute, Native American flute, conch shell trumpet, and prerecorded music were made in the amphitheater. Recording equipment included an analog tape deck, digital minidisk, and direct digital recording to a laptop computer hard drive utilizing stage-performance-quality microphones. The arc is in an overhanging cliff face and brings distant sounds to a line focus. Along this line there are unusual acoustic effects at conjugate foci. Time history analysis showed that a 60 dB reverberation decay lasted from 1.8 to 2 seconds, nearly ideal for the public performance of music. The acoustical properties of the Amphitheater are recognized by Navajo people (Diné). It has been given a special place name and is still used by Navajo ceremonial practitioners, utilizing shell trumpets, eagle bone whistles, and reed flutes.

“Intonation of Solo Violin Performance with Reference to Equally Tempered, Pythagorean, and Just Intonations”,
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Volume 93, Number 1, January 1993, pages 525–539, doi:10.1121/1.405632
Abstract: Determined which musical scale best modeled the solo performances of 8 25–33 yr old professional violinists, who played the diatonic scale of C major, very slowly, without vibrato, and as accurately as possible (i.e., the usual way of playing when a string teacher shows a pupil how a scale sounds). When individual scales were analyzed as a whole, violin performances fit Pythagorean and equally tempered intonations more precisely than the just intonation; performances fit the Pythagorean and the equally tempered model almost equally well. Interval size (analyzed not considering the context of the individual scales) was halfway between the interval sizes in Pythagorean and equally tempered intonations.

Music Perception: An Interdisciplinary Journal, Volume 12, Number 3, published by the University of California Press, Spring 1995, pages 291–306.
Publication 40286185 on JSTOR (subscription access).
Abstract: The present study investigates the relationship between musical experience and subjects' conception of accurate tuning. In a paired comparisons experiment, 7 violinists, 7 pianists, and 10 nonmusicians evaluated the tuning of computer-generated, ascending and descending eight-tone diatonic scales of C major. Subjects were required to indicate which member of the pair was "most accurately tuned." The subjects were unaware that all scales were perfectly tuned in the Pythagorean, just, or equal-tempered intonation, respectively. Results showed that (1) violinists, as a group, preferred Pythagorean to equal-tempered scales more frequently than vice versa (p< .01), (2) pianists preferred equaltempered to Pythagorean scales more frequently than vice versa (p < .01), (3) violinists and pianists judged just intoned scales to be less accurately tuned than either Pythagorean or equal-tempered scales (p < .01), and (4) nonmusicians did not show any preference for any of the three intonation models. These findings confirm the claim that subjects' conception of accurate tuning is determined by musical experience rather than by characteristics of the auditory system. Relevance of the results to assessment of tonal perception is discussed.

An Exploration of Melody, Harmony, and Improvisation in the Music of Stevie Wonder,
Ph.D. dissertation – University of Oregon, December 2012, xviii + 199 pages.
Abstract: In this dissertation, I examine Stevie Wonder’s compositional style from his celebrated “classic period,” (1972-1976) focusing specifically on the concentrated two-year time span from 1972-1974 marked by his unparalleled creative output that launched him into superstardom. My study operates on the premise that most melodic relationships are governed by a fundamentally pentatonic process and that harmonic relationships are largely governed by jazz-influenced tonal processes. I have transcribed dozens of examples from the time period under review in order to survey the expressive interaction between these two related but distinct systems and the resulting effect their usage has on melody and harmony. Using Schenkerian reductive analysis as my primary tool, I uncover recurring patterns that shape and shed light on his style. The final chapter of this study focuses on the ways in which Wonder’s improvised melodic lines relate to the voice-leading framework of the basic melodic ideas in his performance of “I Love Every Little Thing About You” and also the ways in which his improvisation impacts forward motion in the course of this song.

“EEG and Behavioral Changes in a Hyperkinetic Child Concurrent with Training of the Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) — A Preliminary Report”,
Biofeedback and Self-Regulation, Volume 1, Number 3, 1976, pages 293–306.
Publication 990355 on PubMed/NCBI (subscription access).
Abstract: Reduced seizure incidence coupled with voluntary motor inhibition accompanied conditioned increases in the sensorimotor rhythm (SMR), a 12- 14 Hz rhythm appearing over rolandic cortex. Although SMR biofeedback training has been successfully applied to various forms of epilepsy in humans, its potential use in decreasing hyperactivity has been limited to a few cases in which a seizure history was also a significant feature. The present study represents a first attempt to explore the technique's applicability to the problem of hyperkinesis independent of the epilepsy issue. The results of several months of EEG biofeedback training in a hyperkinetic child tend to corroborate and extend previous findings. Feedback presentations for SMR were contingent on the production of 12- 14-Hz activity in the absence of 4- 7-Hz slow-wave activity. A substantial increase in SMR motor inhibition, as gauged by laboratory measures of muscular tone (chin EMG) and by a global behavioral assessment in the classroom. Opposite trends in motor inhibition occurred when the training procedure was reversed and feedback presentations were contingent on the production of 4- 7 Hz in the absence of 12- 14-Hz activity. Although the preliminary nature of these results is stressed, the subject population has recently been increased to establish the validity and generality of the findings and will include the use of SMR biofeedback training after medication has been withdrawn.

Breath Pressure in Ethnic Wind Instruments (2)
Abstract: This study examines whether teenage asthmatic wind instrumentalists exhibit fewer bronchocon-strictive symptoms, panic-fear responses, changes of mood, and fatigue symptoms than non-wind instrument players. Eight teenage asthmatic wind instrument players and 10 asthmatic non-wind instrument players kept a diary of asthma symptoms. Panic-fear responses and mood changes were significantly higher in the non-wind players. A general health profile suggested that the wind instrumentalists present a significantly better “asthma health” picture, perceiving themselves better able to cope with the disease. Playing a musical wind instrument has the potential of being a long-term therapeutic agent for asthmatics.

Anasazi Flutes from the Broken Flute Cave
Abstract: A proportional random selection of street tree Norway, silver, and sugar maples, and other species among four diameter classes were surveyed in the U.S.’ New York cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse for decay incidence and severity. Decay was determined by drilling sampled trees with a Resistograph and calculating the ratio of sound wood to radius. Overall, 58.3% of the sampled trees had some amount of decay and incidence was highest in sugar maples and in the largest size class trees. However, decay incidence was high (53.2%) even in the smallest diameter tree size class (30.5–45.7cm (12–18 in). Decay severity was greatest in silver maple and in the largest diameter trees, although only 3.2% of the trees sampled had serious decay. The study shows that decay is common in street trees but is seldom severe. It also suggests that decay becomes established early in the life of street trees but is most severe in larger diameter trees and in trees that compartmentalize decay poorly such as silver maple. The frequency and severity of decay in the cities studied indicates that they need to continue to identify and manage trees with decay.

Introduction: Studies of Scandinavian music (Broholm et al. 1949) - most of them dealing with the so-called bronze lurs (Holmes and Coles this journal) - have occurred occasionally since the middle of the nineteenth century. At the beginning of the 1970s, however, more comprehensive and systematic research on prehistoric Scandinavian music was started by the author under the term archaeomusicology. To date, this new discipline has concerned itself chiefly with the task of securing a basic corpus of potential musical instruments, sufficiently comprehensive as to provide a basis for further studies into the nature, practice and purposes of music within the behavioural patterns and ideologies of prehistoric Scandinavian cultures. The present article surveys the methods, problems and results that work with archaeomusicological finds in Scandinavia has disclosed so far.

The Warble
Summary: The authors of this interesting article examine the Lakota Sioux experience at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kansas, and conclude it "supports earlier historians' contentions that there was no characteristic response to service in the Great War." Interestingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, government policy regarding the recruitment and assignment of American Indians here and elsewhere was driven by 'persistent stereotypes' and the desire to foster great assimilation into American society. "What is commonly overlooked is that Indian soldiers used their military experiences to satisfy their own cultural goals and made good use of their training after the war for the advancement of their communities.

published by W. W. Norton & Company, 1996, 373 pages, ISBN 0-393-31735-8 (978-0-393-31735-0).
Publisher's description: With more than 1,200 entries, the Encyclopedia of Native American Healing introduces readers to renowned Native American healers throughout history; societies and divisions into which healers were categorized; sacred objects used in healing rituals and how each was used; types of healing ceremonies conducted; plants used to increase healing powers; symbolic motifs used in healing rituals; major concepts that formed Native American healing traditions; and major scholars of Native American healing, complete with first-hand accounts of their experiences. The alphabetical entries are cross-referenced, enabling the reader to thoroughly explore a particular concept or the evolution and relationship of ideas, practices, customs, ceremonies, and peoples. Each entry cites tribal origin and corresponding geographic location. These regions, in turn, are keyed to tribal territorial maps that pinpoint exact tribe locations. A bibliography and a subject index complete this work, making it a fundamental resource for students and scholars alike.
