Gabriele Cecchetti's PhD thesis explores how we interpret music using linguistic concepts, showing that our brains build structures in music similar to language, revealing a dynamic process of subconscious and active listening. See full article on link in bio (@epfldh).

As part of her Master’s degree in @epfldh, Hannah Casey spent nearly a year at the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome creating a visual map of the library’s catalog, which has over 300,000 documents!

Today, we launch "H".

“H” is first and foremost about the future of the Humanities. And, specifically for this first edition, H refers to two major cross-disciplinary transformations in the field of knowledge: "Hyperscience" and "Hyperreality".

"Hyperscience". Over the next twenty years, a hyperscientific core of unified methods and knowledge will undoubtedly emerge, including the humanities and social sciences, and with research into the “science of science”. Transdisciplinarity is becoming the norm rather than the exception, recomposing a fluid and continuous knowledge landscape far removed from the old silos, forging a fertile ground for innovation and discovery.

“Hyperreality”. At the same time, we are entering the regime of “Hyperreality”, a territory in which the boundaries between the real and the virtual, documentary and fiction, are blurring. Hyperreality is characterized by the gradual obsolescence of truth and falsity as foundational concepts of discourse, a continuum between the natural and the artificial, a normalization of simulation as an experience of the world, and a new realm of creative expression, a canvas onto which the future can be painted.

The generation born at the dawn of the year 2000 is the one that is experiencing these two convergences. If they are introduced to these new dynamics early enough, they will not only participate in the existing global game; they may well rewrite its rules.

How did composers' use of intervals change over time? In our new study in @HSScomms we employ a #Bayesian model of tonal space to study major trajectories in classical #music. @Uni_WUE @durham_uni @epfldh

We have asked Johan Rochel, a philosopher with a PhD in law and also an EPFL scientist, about his series of videos for the EPFL community.

The new minor will be offered as of Fall 2024.

Students will learn theory and techniques to understand and work with media, heritage, and culture, as well as principles and techniques to design and build systems for – and interacting with – people.
