Modeling complexity in musical rhythm
@article{Liou2010ModelingCI, title={Modeling complexity in musical rhythm}, author={Cheng-Yuan Liou and Tai-Hei Wu and Chia-Ying Lee}, journal={Complex.}, year={2010}, volume={15}, pages={19-30} }
This article constructs a tree structure for the music rhythm using the L-system. It models the structure as an automata and derives its complexity. It also solves the complexity for the L-system. This complexity can resolve the similarity between trees. This complexity serves as a measure of psychological complexity for rhythms. It resolves the music complexity of various compositions including the Mozart effect K488. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity, 2010

Subjective judgments of rhythmic complexity in Parkinson’s disease: Higher baseline, preserved relative ability, and modulated by tempo
- PsychologyPloS one

This study constructed ten musical rhythms with a varied degree of complexity across three different tempi, and found a uniform elevated baseline for complexity judgments in the PD-group, and a strong association between the two groups’ rank-ordering the rhythms for complexity.
Probabilistic L-systems can look like the branches of plants and trees
- Environmental ScienceComplex.

Compared to the branching patterns of plants, turtle graphs appear too regular, however if the length of the trails of the offspring is randomized by 50% and some turtles produce only one offspring or none, then the turtle graphs a surprisingly similar to plant structures.

Agreement among the musicians' improvisations, the network model, and music-theoretic predictions suggest that perceived constancy across musical variation is a natural result of a reductionist mechanism for producing memory representations.

The nervous system is able to develop by combining on one hand a only limited amount of genetic information and, on the other hand, the input it receives, and it might be possible to develop a brain from there.

It is argued that the redundancy of sensory messages provides the knowledge incorporated in the maps or models and a representation whose elements are independent makes it possible to form associations with logical functions of the elements, not just with the elements themselves.
