How does the human mind process the architecture of music?
This session from MIT's Computational Music Theory and Analysis course provides an entry point into music cognition. It outlines the essential readings and introduces the guest experts who will explore how we perceive and understand musical structures.
Presented by instructor Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert, this lecture serves as a foundational introduction to the study of music cognition. Part of the Spring 2023 MIT OpenCourseWare curriculum, the session follows an in-class quiz to transition students into the cognitive dimensions of music theory.
The video sets the stage for upcoming academic discussions by previewing relevant literature and introducing guest speakers specialized in the field. It provides the necessary context for understanding the intersection of computational analysis and human perception.
