fMRIgives us the ability to observe structures that participate in specific functions and

provides high resolution, noninvasive reports of neural activity detected by a blood oxygen level dependent signal

(Ogawa, et al, 1990 a and b, 1992, 1993; Belliveau, et al, 1990, 1991)

PET SCAN Reflects the level of chemical activity in your body. Areas of greater intensity, called hot spots, indicate where large

amounts of the radiotracer have accumulated and where there is a high level of chemical activity. Less intense areas, or cold spots, indicate a smaller concentration of radiotracer and less

chemical activity.http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=PET&bhcp=1

JEAN PIAGET

Figure 1. The Inspiration web above illustrates Piaget's four cognitive development stages; sensorimotor (birth-2 years), preoperational (2 - 7 years), concrete operational (7 - 11 years), and formal operational (adolescence - adulthood). By Tiffany Davis, Meghann Hummel, and Kay Sauers (2006)

How The Brain MaturesAlexander Luria identified that the brain was

not made up of isolated individual parts dedicated to a single function, such as

speaking or doing math. He discovered that the brain actually was comprised as a set of

neurological systems or loops, each contributing to the brain's ability to process information and draw conclusions. In other

words, the ability to do math required many parts of the brain instead of only one part.

It was discovered that each part of the brain underwent what appeared to be an

expansion and contraction process, based upon the biological and developmental age of the person. This natural developmental cycle occurs approximately every four years until

the day we die.

Snell’s Law• Come listen and learn, I’ve a story I tell,

• I sing of the genius of Willebrord Snell• • A mathematician who lived long ago• • In the Netherlands where the Rhine river does flow.• • He set for his mind occupations of worth,• • Improved navigation and measured the Earth!• • He gave us the sine law, that wonderful guy,• • And he made more precise calculation of pi!• • (Chorus)• Singin’ n1 sine theta-sub-1, hey, hey, hey,• • Equals n2 sine theta-sub-2, hip hooray!

• n1Sinθ 1= n2Sinθ2

• His greatest feat came in Sixteen Twenty-one,

• When optics as science was really begun!

• While flashes of lightning illumined his page,

• He wrote down Snell’s law, his great gift to the age!

• So if you wear glasses or like to fry ants, • Be grateful your lenses were not made by chance!

• Astronomers hail him with each new-found star!• • Microscopists toast him from each sleazy bar!

• (Chorus)• Now some credit Harriot, others Descartes,• • Both studied refraction, and both were real smart.• • But we prefer Willebrord van Roijen Snell -- • • He laid down the law, and he did it darn well!

• (Chorus )25

36

Quodlibet

• a humorous composition consisting of two or more independent and harmonically complementary melodies, usually quotations of well-known tunes, played or sung together, usually to different texts, in a polyphonic arrangement.

37

Music vs. NoiseMusic = regular vibration per time

Noise = irregular vibration per time

38

Octaves and Frequency• The frequency of a note one octave higher

than a given note is twice that of the given note

• The frequency of a note one octave lower than a given note is half that of the given note

• E.G. – Concert A = 440 Hz [Yellow] piano– A above high C = 880 HZ [Green]– A below middle C = 220 Hz [Red]

39

Overtones

• natural resonance or vibration frequency of a system

41

• What Child is this who, laid to restOn Mary’s lap is sleeping?Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,While shepherds watch are keeping?This, this is Christ the King,Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Words: William C. Dix, The Manger Throne, 1865.Music: Greensleeves, 16th Century English melody

WHAT CHILD IS THIS?

42

• Why lies He in such mean estate,Where ox and ass are feeding?Good Christians, fear, for sinners hearThe silent Word is pleading.Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,The cross be borne for me, for you.Hail, hail the Word made flesh,The Babe, the Son of Mary.

43

Ostinato

• is a repeating chord progression which continues throughout the piece.

• A short melody or pattern that is constantly repeated, usually in the same part at the same pitch.

• Italian for stubborn.

Signed by Ashes - Kevin Keil

• Refrain: • Signed by water, signed by ashes,

Secure in your love, O God.
