Engagement is fundamental to the human experience of music, yet remains challenging to define, quantify, and bring about. This one-day symposium brings together academic and industry researchers in music, neuroscience, cognitive science, and engineering, with the aim of broadening discussions and advancing research on musical engagement. Speakers include Jacek Dmochowski (City College of New York), Douglas Eck (Google), Blair Kaneshiro (Stanford University), and Sageev Oore (Saint Mary's University (Canada)/Google). Talks will be followed by a poster session featuring current CCRMA research. Lunch will be provided.

Many years ago there was a neurophysiology meeting where most of the talks were about cortex. There was a lone keynote speech by a researcher interested in controlling muscle. He pointed out that without his work (i.e. muscle movement) then all the cortical work in the world was meaningless. :-) That is sobering. We perceive in order to act.

The Rare Earth hypothesis states that complex life is the product of an intricate series of coincidental cosmic conditions. The unlikelihood for these precise circumstances to align suggests that intelligent life is rare elsewhere in the universe—if it exists at all. But perhaps complex life is more varied than we know to look for. It might even be all around us, undetected or simply unnoticed.
