I'm writing to tell you about the Summer School, which we will host in Sheffield in July (below). Please email MMM_SummerSchool@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for further enquiries, and not this email address.
Dear all
The Music Mind Machine
research center, Department of Music, the
University of Sheffield, will host coming July (8th-11th) an International
Summer School on Musical Understanding: Philosophical, Psychological
and Neuroscientific approaches.
Confirmed speakers are Corrado
Sinigaglia (University of Milan); Katie Overy (University of Edinburgh); Tuomas Eerola (University
of Jyväskylä); Nikki Dibben and Renee Timmers (University of Sheffield).
The Summer school will focus
on:
1) Interdisciplinary approach
to musical understanding
2) Mirror neurons and the enactive aspects of musicality
3) Emotional feedback in
musical experience
What phenomenological experiences are connected to musical
engagement and understanding? What is the role of the bodily motor
knowledge in the sense-giving process of musical comprehension? What
faculties underlie musical understanding and how are these reflected in
neuroscientific and psychological findings?
The summer school will
investigate musical understanding from philosophical, psychological and
neuroscientific perspectives and will address the raised questions
through presentations, discussions, reading groups, and analysis of
empirical work conducted before and during the summer school. The aim of
the school is to provide an opportunity to engage with cutting edge
research, interact with leading academics and participate actively
in debate, research design, analysis and presentation.
Open to graduate students with
a clear interest and some prior experience with psychology of music.
We would be most grateful if
you could circulate this email among your colleagues and students.
Please have a look at the
official Summer School's webpage for further information:
Thank you very much for your
time and consideration
All the very best,
The International Summer School on Musical
Understanding Committee
