Music, Audiences, Neuroscience, Cognition and Society
Description
The Music, Audiences, Neuroscience, Cognition and Society (MANCS) research centre’s disciplines include brain imaging, music performance and psychology, psychoacoustics and sound engineering and musical performance.
MANCS brings together researchers from four leading institutions of higher education: University of Manchester, Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester Metropolitan University, and University of Salford.
The group was formed in 2018 to carry out cross-disciplinary research on music, audience, neuroscience, cognition and to look at their applications to society.
MANCS is motivated to particularly challenge the perhaps traditional view of western classical music performance as a one-way process in which audiences tend to be passive, and to explore two-way interactions between performers and audience members.
Its overarching objectives fall into three categories: Science, Performance and People.
