Performance and Musical Perception Analysis

The main objective of this multidisciplinary study is to develop a cognitive model of the mechanisms of musical perception and comprehension. This model aims specifically at exploring the close interaction between the processes of segmentation and pattern recognition in musical listening from different angles including perception, musical analysis, and computer modeling. This question touches upon the domain of complex objects in terms of the representation of knowledge schemas, hierarchical segmentation processes, the interaction between ascending and descending processing, and, especially in regard to music, problems that arise when applying those operations in real-time while listening to music.
