Nowadays, there has come to life a growing demand of society for obtaining objective quantitative evaluations in psychology, biology, neurophysiology, and other fields that did not concern metrology before. Such evaluations should meet measurement requirements. The measurement of emotions associated with acoustic signals is a typical example. On th...

Civilization development requires a multifold increase in the volume of measuring information. Such an increase, to a significant extent, is caused by the necessity to solve qualitatively new measuring tasks. To meet this need is possible by the transition to new measuring technologies.

Background: The authors of the paper consider the possibility of using the emotion measurement model developed earlier with regard to music for automatic recognizing emotions in speech. In terms of prosodic (referred to intonations and accents) aspects of manifestation and perception of emotions, linguists conduct studies both in the field of speec...

The paper deals with the task of measuring emotions that most likely arise as a result of certain acoustic impacts. This task is of interest for musicology, philology, medicine, robotics, etc. A measurement model is presented that reflects a “mechanism” of forming the emotions.

An acoustic method of diagnostics is considered that relies on the model intended for measuring expected emotions, which w...

Biological evolution and development of control systems have some common tendencies. Within the evolution process, animals acquired the ability to forecast changes in conditions of existence and to mitigate expected consequences of their undesirable impacts on population. The variation of life processes depending on day time or season can be consid...

The paper deals with the variation of music perception depending on listeners' age. The study is based upon 3-step measurement model intended for measuring expected emotions caused by music and other acoustic impacts. This model was proposed earlier [1, 2]. The 1st step of the model contains a nonlinear converter, delay unit (on the basis of short-...

Expressiveness is one of the most important characteristscs applied for explanation of somebody’s impression with regard to a musical composition or its performance. Until recently, this characteristic was completely subjective although a quantitative instrumental evaluation of the expressiveness of both musical compositions as a whole and their s...

The paper deals with the evidences of emotion reflection in word and phrase sounding obtained on the basis of the model intended for measuring expected emotions caused by acoustic impacts. Investigations performed earlier have demonstrated that primitive (basic) emotions originate as a result of particular neurophysiological reactions within the in...

Emotion origination is determined by forming a neurophysiologic reaction of infrasound frequency. This reaction initiates a transient to a state that is identified by listener’s feeling or behavior. According to the model intended for measuring expected emotions caused by music, which was proposed earlier, these reactions are generated due to a del...

In the last edition of the International Vocabulary of Metrology the concept “measurement” was spread outside the field of physical quantities. This fact makes it relevant to analyze the experience of developing the models of multidimensional quantity measurements. The model of measurements of expected emotions caused by musical and other acoustic...

Extension of measurement borders to the field of sciences studying man and society requires that quantities, which in most cases are multidimensional, have strict definitions. Definitions of these quantities and development of corresponding measurement models can contribute to revealing new dependences and processes unknown before. This statement i...

The paper topic is investigation of the processes of aesthetic perception of music. Earlier, on the basis of calculations and hypotheses there was proposed a model of a mechanism of emotional music perception. This model can be used as a model for measuring expected emotions and aesthetic impressions. The model structure includes three steps. The f...

These results also show that functions of basic blocks of a measurement model, whic...

Background: Interpretation of the language of music as the language of communication implies that a special structure exists in music, which is representative for language. While estimating the emotional expressiveness of music, expert opinions are generally taken into consideration. However, for the further musical theory development and its influ...
