Abstract:
Event-Related Potentials (ERP) are frequently used in Cognitive Neuroscience to study the physiology correlations between sensory, perceptual and cognitive activities in external stimuli process. Many techniques to analyze the data from Electroencephalograms (EEG) were developed to handle ERP's. In this seminar we will present the Wavelet theory techniques to noise removal and EEG analysis, an also a brief comparative with recent techniques.

Este seminário apresentará o passo a passo de um processo de extração de características de croma a partir de um arquivo de áudio de forma a se obter uma representação eficiente em termos de uso de recursos computacionais. Esta representação será então refinada para lidar com ruídos e pequenas variações de croma.
As características neste formato podem ser utilizadas principalmente para comparar diferentes arquivos de áudio de modo a determinar a semelhança de croma entre eles, geralmente com a finalidade de descobrir diferentes interpretações de uma mesma peça, mas podem auxiliar em outras questões, como na determinação do gênero musical de um áudio, identificação de covers, dentre outros.

Neste seminário será apresentada uma sugestão de como fazer uma performance de DJ acrescida de técnicas de live coding, criando em tempo real sons a serem mixados com as gravações comerciais ou também utilizados em momentos de puro live coding. Dessa maneira as possibilidades oferecidas pelo live coding são colocadas ao lado das técnicas clássicas de DJing, promovendo assim a sonoridade do live coding mas mantendo a ambiência já conhecida da Electronic Dance Music (EDM).
Técnicas básicas de DJing, utilizando o software aberto Mixxx, e algumas estruturas utilizadas em live coding com a linguagem SuperCollider serão apresentadas, juntamente com exemplos musicais. Essa pode ser uma porta de entrada divertida e facilitada para o live coding, contribuindo para a formação de um público crítico e habilitado a apreciar performances de live coding puro.

Abstract:
The Ensemble Framework has a large set of tools for creating and configuring Musical Multiagent Systems. This seminar presents an interface of Ensemble and Pure Data, a visual programming language used in musical applications.
The interface is implemented via the Pure Data API, and allows creation and configuration of Ensemble applications using Pure Data patches, combining the tool set of Ensemble with Pure Data features and ambient usability.

Abstract:
In this seminar the speaker will present his master's project that addresses the problem of automated musical accompaniment. In such problem the computer compares the events of a live performance with a score and, inferring the tempo of the musician, generates the appropriate accompaniment in real-time. A musical accompaniment system can be implemented with four separate modules: the input preprocessor, the matcher, the accompanist and the synthesizer.
The tasks related to the first and last modules are considered peripheral to the scope of the project and therefore will only be exposed techniques related to the two center modules with a greater focus on the accompanist. Furthermore, it will be presented the problem of expressive synthesis that has a high connection with the accompaniment generation problem.
