Brain-controlled games and applications by Chen, Desheng

“…A prototype of the game is developed and its controls are integrated with the Emotiv propriety software, which allows the game to be played with just the headset and no physical inputs. Some test trials are run on the prototype and the results show that the puzzle game can indeed be played with just the Epoc; however, many issues make the game far from easy and enjoyable to play, such as difficulty of control and false positive of inputs even after hours of training. …”

Contextualising the contrafacta of trouvere song by Quinlan, M

“…Rather than making a case for contrafacture among songs whose shared melodies are questionable, this dissertation provides a context rich perspective on certain groups of 'close contrafacta'—songs whose status as contrafacta is already known and supported by strong musical, textual, and contextual evidence. In five case studies, all of which take at least one song from the trouvère repertory, and which represent the most common contrafact genres—political serventois, Marian song, and crusade song—I consider the ways in which their melodies could signify. …”
