Use of rhythmic stimulation in physiotherapy in patients with acquired brain damage
Norková, Hana ; Gerlichová, Markéta (advisor) ; Dědková, Miriama (referee)
Title: Use of rhythmic stimulation in physiotherapy in patients with acquired brain damage Abstract: The topic of the bachelor thesis is the use of rhythmic stimulation in physiotherapy in patients with acquired brain damage. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part contains 4 sections. The first section is entirely dedicated to the acquired brain damage. The second section describes the motor system and structures involved in its management. The third section summarizes information related to music therapy, neurological music therapy, rhythmical stimulation in neurological music therapy, music, rhythm and their influence on the human brain. In the last section, the Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance is described in more details, the elements of which are further used in the practical part. The practical part is built on two case studies illustrating two female patients with an upper limb motor disorder caused by cerebral stroke. During the therapeutic sessions with the patients different elements of Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance were applied. Both patients used four musical instruments, accompanied by a metronome and played each of the instruments with some specific movements. The synchronization of the pace with the movements of the upper limbs in...

7 Summary Kultická hudba a zpěv ve starém Egyptě Cultish music and chant in Ancient Egypt Ingrid Špátová, DiS. Music, although this term didn't exist in Ancient Egypt, has played a very importatnt role in the common and cultish Egyptian life. How Egyptian music sounded, can be just guessed, but some characteristics have been preserved on Coptic church. Egyptians probably used the pentatonic scale. Their musical tuning and performance had to observe strict rules to keep order of maat. One of the most important sphere of Egyptian cult have been funerary rituals, including processions with music and lamentations. A fundamental significance in funerary and temple cult have had women musicians, especially priestesses and chantresses of Hathor shemayet. They served to numerous deities, male and female, and they belonged to high- ranking families or to families of the high priests. There were several deities directly connected with music. Gods with the closest connections to musicians and deities with musical attributes were for example Hathor (lately unified with Isis), Usir, Bes, Meret, Hathor's son Ihy, Thovt, Bastet or Ptah. Temple musicians made offering and performances to deities about three or four times a day. Ancient musical instruments can be sorted to four groups: idiophones (musical instruments making...
Musical Signal Synthesis on Android
Mikulík, Jan ; Glembek, Ondřej (referee) ; Černocký, Jan (advisor)
The main task of this thesis is to design and implement new synthesizer on mobile platform under Android. The synthesizer generates three types of signals - sine, sawtooth and square. Two types of filters can be applied, low pass and high pass, and their cut-off frequency can be controlled. For the sound interpretation, an AudioTrack API was used. The synthesizer is controlled by zones, where one zone equals one tone. Zones can be selected by the user. For this synthesizer, a simple user interface was created.
Electronic Drum Control Module
Doležal, Karel ; Růžička, Richard (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
This paper deals with development and construction of an electronic drum module. The purpose of the device is to capture signals from an electronic drumkit and to produce sound accordingly. Firstly, a protoype with no sound output is constructed to demonstrate an ability to capture input signals. Based on its function, parameters for a final device are determined. Then, electronic component selection and design of printed circuit boards is described with an aim to maximalize polyphony and minimize latency of the sound generator. After that, firmware with software mixing algorithm is designed. Lastly, testing and measurement of real device parameters is performed.
Prototype of Touchless Musical Instrument
Pilný, Tomáš ; Šimek, Václav (referee) ; Strnadel, Josef (advisor)
In this thesis is described the motivation to create a touchless musical instrument as a platform for live musical performance. Thesis contais the overview of existing electronic musical instruments. Furthermore, it describes process of design and implementation of a prototype.
Electric Violin
Vaněk, Miroslav ; Fajt, Pavel (referee) ; Zdařil, Zdeněk (advisor)
The subject of my diploma thesis is design and realization of a five strings electric violin. This work builds on my theoretical diploma work named Development of the violin up to the present. The body of the violin is made of solid wood (beech) as same as the chin rest, fingerboard and bridge (walnut). The body is white coloured and varnished. In the left rib is placed el. sound output – 6.3 mm jack. The violin is equipped with piezo pickup Shadow SH SV1. Removable part of the violin is the shoulder rest. It has two support points.
Design of Digital Piano
Sikora, Halina ; Sládek, Josef (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the design of a digital piano. This increasingly popular musical instrument offers possibilities not available in an acoustic piano (outputting sound into headphones, utilizing sample libraries, recording, use of sheet music in digital form and more). From technical standpoint, it attempts to closely mimic the qualities of traditional instruments, both in its tactile feedback and sound quality. The aim of this work was to design a solution which would starkly differentiate from the very conservative classical design without being overly extravagant. The main focus is therefore on aspects of visual appearance, with emphasis on ergonomics, and an outline of the technical solution.

Establishment of database of musical instruments recordings
Lavický, Vojtěch ; Mácha, Tomáš (referee) ; Rášo, Ondřej (advisor)
In this Bachelor thesis you can find created database of musical instruments. Recordings are descripted by it's waveforms and sectrograms. It may serve for example for removing noise from signal. A general data of instruments are descripted here. Human earing and his perception of sound is discuss here. There are also included parameters of sound itself and theory of calculations. Frequency and dynamic range are written to every instrument in database. These are consequently range by its size. As a part of the thesis is program with graphical user interface. The program include all the recordings from database and is open to any other recordings.
