Computational Auditory Perception Lab

Description

Research at the Computational Auditory Perception Lab at Queen Mary University of London seeks to understand the way in which human listeners and performers perceive, understand and appreciate complex auditory signals such as music, speech and environmental scenes. This research spans a wide range of psychological domains, from low-level processes such as auditory stream segregation, through top-down mechanisms of expectation and attention, to high-level experience of affect and pleasure. The lab makes use of a wide range of research paradigms, including computational modelling, neuroimaging and cognitive psychology.

The lab, formerly the Music Cognition Lab, is part of the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM), the Cognitive Science (CogSci) Research Group, the Centre for Multimodal Artificial Intelligence and the Centre for Human-Centred Computing at Queen Mary. It holds weekly seminars on the Mile End campus, develops IDyOM, its own computational model of auditory expectation, and has run public engagement projects including an app based on the piece Clapping Music and a Live Science Residency at the Science Museum.
