A transdisciplinary seminar series addressing the confluence of modern machine learning, cognitive science, computational neuroscience: theory and practice

"Revealing the geometry of visual memory encoding using transmission chains"

"High Level Non-Conscious Representations"

Dallinger (https://github.com/Dallinger/Dallinger) automates experiments relying on combinations of automated bots and human subjects recruited on platforms like Mechanical Turk. This three-day workshop is intended for researchers who  either use or plan to use Dallinger as part of their research.

“Measuring responses to music: Methods, challenges, and alternative approaches”

“How Action Creates Thought"

"Aesthetic Preferences for Microrhythmic Variations in Music: A Comparative Study Across Cultures" 

Prof. Ofer Tchernichovski (CUNY) will be visiting the Computational Auditory Perception Research Group from Jan. 16-23. 

Mr. Eamonn Bell (Columbia) will be visiting the Computational Auditory Perception Research Group from Jan. 16-23. 

Over the past few years, cross-cultural research has become an increasingly important tool for understanding the cultural and biological factors that influence music. At the same time, cross-cultural work carries many pitfalls, as the recent history of the comparative human sciences attests, and is therefore vulnerable to (frequently justified) criticism. This workshop aims to address the gulf that can exist between scientists and ethnomusicologists in conceptualizing and interpreting cross-cultural research.
