The 2002 Sydney conference follows meetings of the music perception and cognition research community in Kyoto, Japan (1989), Los Angeles, USA (1992), Li=E8ge, Belgium (1994), Montr=E9al, Canada (1996), Seoul, South Kor= ea (1998) and Keele, UK (2000). 7th ICMPC is sponsored jointly by the Society for Music Perception and Cognition (USA), the Japanese Society for Music Perception and Cognition, and the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music. It will be hosted jointly by the Australian Music & Psychology Society (AMPS), the Macarthur Auditory Research Centre Sydney (MARCS) and the University of New South Wales. The venue for the conference is the School of Music and Music Education at the University of New South Wales (http://www.unsw.edu.au). The conference venue is just a short bus trip to the centre of Sydney with its beautiful harbour, Opera House, and cultural life. The beaches and cafes of Coogee and Bondi are 15 minutes east of the University. We invite you to take this opportunity to visit Australia - the smallest continent and the largest island in the world! Tours in and around Sydney can be arranged during the conference and you may like to organise extra time to travel beyond Sydney and take in the pleasures of Australia. Head south along the coast road and visit historical and cultural Melbourne; far west to see the Red Centre and Uluru; due north to experience tropical Queensland, our spectacular rainforests, and the Great Barrier Reef. Although July is mid-winter for us, it is an ideal time to travel to the centre or far north areas of the country. Winter in Sydney averages a cool but pleasant 16 deg. C (day) to 8 deg. C (night). The conference is organised from the Macarthur Auditory Research Centre, Sydney (MARCS) within the University of Western Sydney.
