Date:Wed, 08/17/2016 - 4:30pm - 5:30pmLocation:CCRMA Seminar roomEvent Type:Guest LectureBio:
Nori Jacoby studies the role of culture in auditory perception. His current work uses iterated learning alongside classical psychophysical methods to characterize perceptual biases in music and speech rhythms in various populations ranging from Westerners to the Tsimané, an Amazonian foraging-farming society in Bolivia. He is also working on computational modeling of synchronization and entrainment in jembe drum ensembles in Mali. Nori completed a Ph.D.

Date:Thu, 05/12/2016 - 5:00pm - 6:00pmLocation:CCRMA Seminar RoomEvent Type:Guest LectureAbstract: Coordinating one’s behaviors with that of another individual is fundamental to successful social interaction. In most instances, such interaction is effortless and efficient, even when we are faced with highly variable and often unpredictable behavioral events. Key to achieving such coordination and cooperation is being able to predict or anticipate the behaviors of other individuals. Research investigating the mechanisms that support behavioral anticipation has traditionally focused on hypotheses formulated to explain how the human nervous system compensates for the temporal delays that occur between the production of a movement and the perception of its outcome (i.e., feedback).
Open to the PublicDissertation Defense, Blair Kaneshiro: Toward an Objective Neurophysiological Measure of Musical Engagement
Date:Wed, 05/11/2016 - 12:00pm - 2:00pmLocation:CCRMA StageEvent Type:Guest Lecture
Engaging listeners is an inherent goal of music. The concept of 'musical engagement', however, carries multiple connotations and remains difficult to quantify or even define. In particular, an objective measure of musical engagement is lacking.Open to the PublicFederico Llach - Performance Limitations, Life Cycles and Experimentation as triggers for Composition
