Research at the Music Cognition Lab seeks to understand the way
in which human listeners and performers perceive and appreciate
music. This research spans a wide range of psychological domains, from
low-level processes such as auditory stream segregation to high-level
musical experiences such as aesthetic appreciation. The group makes
use of a wide range of research paradigms, including computational
modelling, neuroimaging, and cognitive psychology.
