Entropy, Uncertainty, and the Depth of Implicit Knowledge on Musical Creativity: Computational Study of Improvisation in Melody and Rhythm

Recent neurophysiological and computational studies have proposed the hypothesis that our brain automatically codes the nth-order transitional probabilities (TPs) embedded in sequential phenomena such as music and language (i.e., local statistics in nth-order level), grasps the entropy of the TP distribution (i.e., global statistics), and predicts
