You are welcome to attend the day's events and enjoy the company of your colleagues. You are also invited to give a very short (8 minutes), semi-formal presentation of your work, aimed at a fairly general audience that will include people with established
research programs in areas outside your specialty, as well as students and other newcomers to the field. The goal is simply to give a broadly contextualized sense of the questions you're asking, not a detailed picture of your answers. At our previous meetings,
we have found the 8-minute format to be expedient, exhilarating, and successful for both presenters and audience members.
This year, we especially welcome abstract submissions in honor of David Wessel (1942 - 2014), Professor of Music at UC Berkeley, founding director of Berkeley’s Center for New Music and Audio Technologies, and past president of the Society for Music Perception
and Cognition.
We hope to make slots for eight-minute talks available to all, but in an effort to make room for speakers who have not spoken at NEMCOG previously, we may have to turn down some requests for slots at this meeting. If you would like to do a presentation,
please indicate so in
your RSVP with a tentative title and a short abstract or bio. All presented abstracts and bios will be shared with our attendees and posted on our web site.
If you cannot attend this spring's meeting, you can be kept abreast of the group's activities through continued inclusion on our e-mail list. If this message was forwarded to you by a colleague or through another e-mail list, and you would like to receive
our regular announcements,
please sign up for our mailing lists at http://nemcog.smusic.nyu.edu/subscribe.html
Please circulate this invitation widely to anybody that you think might be interested and able to attend either this meeting or future meetings elsewhere in the Northeast Corridor.
