Get involved with the music cognition lab

There are several ways to participate in our research.

Take a class or get a degree 

The University of Arkansas offers undergraduate and graduate courses in music cognition, ranging from Introduction to Music Cognition to Music and Language to thesis research and special projects. The University of Arkansas also offers the BM and MM degrees in music theory, which can be done with an emphasis on music cognition. 

Participate in an experiment

We are always enrolling new participants in our studies. Participation ordinarily involves listening to music and making responses. For most studies, no musical training is required. Experiments are held at the Music Cognition Lab in the Music Building (labeled MUSC on the campus map).

Work in the lab 

The lab provides many opportunities for students to get involved in ongoing research projects, and to develop their own.

Attend an event

The music cognition lab hosts special events, including guest lectures and demonstrations.
