 Special Issue of Connection Science on Music and Creativity
 -----------------------------------------------------------

We thought people would like to know that a new collection of work on
connectionist models of musical cognition and artistic creativity has
appeared in print this month.  The collection is a double issue of the
journal Connection Science, volume 6, nos. 2&3, covering aspects of
musical perception, conception, and action, and the generation of
visual art.  Some of the papers in this double issue are very
interesting from a computational point of view as well, beyond their
specific application domain.  We hope you enjoy the issue and find it
useful, and we welcome your comments and updates about further work in
this area for future collections such as this.

Niall Griffith and Peter Todd

(Please note: Single copies of this double issue are available. A book
version of this double issue is also planned for the near future.)
