Subject: Re: Question about using music samples in research From: Fatima Husain <husainf@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2015 09:59:53 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--089e0122aefa74e869051eb0cdd1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 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)."
