“…The four elements of music: melody, rhythm, harmony, and timbre, can be described in this section as an introduction to the perception of musical elements, which are also important clues to grasping the style of music in music analysis. The introduction of “pitch” includes melody and harmony, and there are many correlations between pitch and frequency [ 37 ]. With the development of cognitive psychology, the role of pitch, in addition to frequency, on the perception of music in a particular context, has been proposed, in which the potential perception of pitch relationships is not only related to the perceived information itself but also our experience, and some experiments have confirmed the existence of this multidimensional perception of pitch.…”

This paper presents an in-depth study and analysis of the application of the Gestalt theory to music psychotherapy for piano. The paper focuses on how to apply the “whole and part” and “epiphany” perspectives of the Gestalt learning theory to singing and music appreciation lessons. In addition, the Gestalt school’s ideas of developing creative thinking, creating problematic situations, and transferring learning were demonstrated through the implementation of teaching cases. There are differences in the effects of different music on the distribution of body surface temperature; there are differences in the effects of yang music on the Directing Vessel compared to the effects of yin music on the Directing Vessel, and the effects are following the hierarchical model of thinking; there are individual differences in the magnitude of the effects of the same music on the body surface temperature of different people, and the identification of music needs to be combined with the three factors. The wavelet energy entropy (WEE) characteristics of EEG signals were extracted as the input of the designed and optimized deep belief network model, and the average emotional classification accuracy of EEG signals in the left and right brain regions could be obtained as 84.20% and 83.07%, respectively, under the condition of distinguishing brain regions and different music environments. Compared with the classification accuracies of DBN, restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), and K nearest neighbor (kNN) algorithms in mixed music environments, the classification effects were improved by about 3.49%, 12.89%, and 7.24%. Relying on the ability-poor theory and Weiner attribution theory, different types of secondary school students, their psychological characteristics, and their causes were pointed out. Combined with the psychological characteristics, the case study illustrates the positive effect of music therapy on psychological support.

Solemn voices echo through the speakers, the clatter of glass and bursts of laughter give way to loud applause. These are some of the sounds captured on the gramophone recording of the Social Democrats' annual congress in 1969. The Party Congress was an important arena for political thinking in 20th century Sweden, yet we know relatively little about how it functioned. This article analyses the form of the party congress by studying sound recordings from the Social Democratic Party, The Swedish Association of Christian Social Democrats, Social Democratic Women in Sweden, and the Communist party, between 1968 and 1978. What was going on at these meetings and how can audio data supplement the understanding provided by the texts of the minutes?The party congress was a nexus for party political discourse. Decisive decisions were made, ideas were exchanged, and lines of conflict were drawn. Precisely for this reason, historical research has repeatedly consulted the congress minutes to study the circulation and development of political ideas. However, the minutes provide a limited understanding of the form of the meeting itself. The preserved audio recordings can instead contribute to our understanding of the arrangement of the meetings; who was allowed to speak for long and who was interrupted. Automated signal processing offers the possibility of exploring this rich material on a large scale. It also enables granular inspection and curated close listening. In this way, the digital analysis methods of today enable research to move along the scale of the data set. By bringing together machine processing and human listening, it is possible to gain new insights into the Party Congress and better understand one of the central environments in which Swedish social democracy took shape.

“…15 This argument offers parallels with the analysis provided by sound historian Victoria Thaczyk concerning the forced development of a standardised 'normal' media language in Germany in the interwar period, which was, as she shows, facilitated by the gramophone and designed 'to convey an impression of scientific objectivity' . 16 More pertinently for my argument, the Post Office's guidance makes it clear that the process of telephone transmission made speech less comprehensible for those with hearing loss, especially those with noise-or age-induced loss, for whom higher frequencies (the pitch at which the information delivering consonants is delivered) were lost. 17 The Post Office clearly understood the difficulties of using the telephone.…”

On the evening of Monday, 6 September 1886, Professor William Rutherford travelled from Edinburgh to Birmingham to deliver a lecture to the British Medical Association on a subject that he described as being on 'the borderland between the realm of physics and that of consciousness'. 1 He began by inviting his audience to consider the nature of sound while they listened to a vibrating pendulum and a number of differently pitched tuning forks. After this, he started on his main topic, 'The Telephone Theory of the Sense of Hearing', inspired by the invention of the telephone ten years earlier. He enthused: 'It is, indeed, one of the most wonderful inventions of recent times', and asked his audience, 'can it throw light on the sense of hearing?'. 2 Rutherford had developed a theory of frequency transmission based on the working of the telephone and he postulated that each sound stimulated a corresponding hair cell in the ear, with a correlation between the number of hair cells and the audibility of the transmission. Rutherford had reached this conclusion by taking apart and experimenting with, variously, a telephone, a frog and a rabbit. He boasted: 'I could send as many as 352 impulses per second along the nerve of a rabbit and get a note from the muscle of the pitch of 352 vibrations per second. That is a note of the pitch of F on the lowest space of the treble clef. ' 3 It might not seem that a rabbit vibrating in F has much in common with the British Post Office. Yet not long after Rutherford's experiments, that institution was also trying to discover the extent to which the telephone could throw light on the sense of hearing. Indeed, the Post Office was soon designing telephones specifically for people with hearing loss as part of their governmentmandated state monopoly. What happened, in this short space of time, to take British telephone technology from vibrating rabbits to a telephone service for
