Re: Question about using music samples in research

[Fatima Husain <husainf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all who replied both here on the List and backchannel to me.

I think we have a plan of action -- we will try for copyright-free music but if that is

not possible we will use music from CDs/downloads that we bought.

There was an earlier thread on this issue: http://www.auditory.org/mhonarc/2012/msg00782.html

and in the immortal words of Robert Zatorre,  "the party is more fun".
 "So I'm not sure why it would make a difference if you have a CD and play it during a party, or play it while someone is inside an fMRI scanner, as we have done (except that the party is more fun)."

Best,

Fatima

It could be possible to get permission from the owner of the copyright, or
make your own recordings of artists with their permission. I have done the
latter for non-Western music.
