    "title": "Musical Pleasure Through the Unification of Melodic Sequences",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The purpose of this paper is to extend an earlier\ntheory of pleasure associated with harmonic sequences\nto melodic sequences. The theory stated that the\nsequences that will be pleasurable will be the ones\nthat allow a coherent transition from one mental state\nto the next. This can be measured in a connectionist\nmodel by noting the strength of the activation boost\nin a competitive layer categorizing the elements of\nthe sequence. It is suggested that a similar\nmechanism will work for melodic sequences if two\nconditions are met. First, the melodic sequences\nmust be represented such that two sequences judged to\nbe similar by the ear have an overlapping distributed\nrepresentation. Next, a mechanism must be posited\nto separate melodic sequences into significant groups.\nThe results of a network accomplishing these tasks\nare presented.",
