Music Cognition
Our work in music cognition seeks to understand how people perceive, produce, and are affected by music. A diverse range of methodologies is brought to bear on these issues including behavioral, psychophysical, and psychophysiological. Recent work has focused on multidimensional and multimodal integration in perception of vocal music. For example, what are the laws that characterize the effortless binding of lyrics and music, and how do visual aspects of performance influence what people actually hear?
