题目: Current and Future Trends in Neuromusicology

摘要Abstract:

 Neuromusicology is a branch of cognitive neuroscience focussing on neural mechanisms involved in music-related activities such as listening, performing, composing, and improvising. It focuses on both cognitive and emotional functions of the musical brain, such as locating regions involved in musical feature processing, or detecting neural correlates of music-induced emotions. Furthermore, it aims to pinpoint long-term effects of musical activities, such as listening and playing, on neural structure and function. In this talk I will discuss some recent trends of neuromusicology. These include expanding emphasis on naturalistic experimental setups, increasing interest in functional integration, strengthening focus on inter-subject variability, as well as growing attention on neural decoding and brain simulation. Within this framework, I will also present some of the work carried out in our lab that reflects these trends.

报告人介绍：

Professor Petri Toiviainen received the degree of MSc in theoretical physics in 1987 and the degree of PhD in musicology in 1996, both at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Since 2002 he holds the position of Professor of Music at the University of Jyväskylä. He has been a visiting professor at Cornell University (1999-2000) and a residential fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University (2007-2008). He was the head of the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Music Research (2008-2013). Since 2014 he holds an Academy Professorship. His research interests include music and movement, perception of rhythm and tonality, emotions in music, sound and music computing, and music visualization.
