Welcome

We are interested in the interface between musical structure and engagement, especially in listeners without formal training, and especially as it occurs dynamically across the course of the listening experience.

We use a combination of empirical methods (behavioral and neuroimaging studies), quantitative analysis, and theoretical approaches to tackle fundamental questions about the human passion for music.

The Music Cognition Lab currently has an opening for a PhD student in the psychology program. Please see application information under "Experimental Program" here.
