The School is aimed at graduate students working on their Master or PhD thesis, but it is open to any person carrying out research in this field. Teachers: * Anders Askenfelt (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) * Elvira Brattico (University of Helsinki, Finland) * Roberto Bresin (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) * Nicola Bernardini (Conservatory of Padova) * Antonio Camurri (University of Genova) * Alain De Cheveigné (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris) * Anders Friberg (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) * Lalya Gaye (Viktoria Institute, Gothenburg, Sweden) * Minna Huotilainen (University of Helsinki, Finland) * Olivier Lartillot (University of Jyväskylä, Finland) * Giovanni De Poli (University of Padova) * Davide Rocchesso (University of Verona) * Stefania Serafin (Aalborg University Copenhagen) * Johan Sundberg (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) * Sten Ternström (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) Invited Experts * Hans Hermanson (Head Multimedia Research, Ericsson, Stockholm) * Lars Jonsson (The Swedish Radio, Stockholm) * Staffan Ljung (Manager for Entertainment Solutions, Ericsson, Stockholm) * Ernst Nathorst (Propellerhead Software, Stockholm) * David Åström (Kocky / Soul Supreme, Stockholm) Academic Program: * 6 hours of lectures by Minna Huotilainen and Elvira Brattico on Neurosciences and Music and 6 hours of lectures by Lalya Gaye on Mobile Music Technology. * 3 hours of oral presentations by the participating students and discussions on their research work. * poster presentations by the participating students during coffee breaks (1.5 hour every day of the School) * 12 hours hands-on activities by the participating students in collaboration with the teachers of the Summer School * 4 hours of oral presentations and discussions by experts from industries in the field of Sound and Music Computing. * 2 hours of oral presentations by leaders of EU funded projects in the field of Sound and Music Computing. The lectures are designed to be of interest to any graduate student or researcher in the field of Sound and Music Computing. The topics chosen for this year are Neurosciences and Music and Mobile Music Technology; relevant topics in our research fields which have particular methodologies and research strategies. The lectures will present these particular methodologies and their application in Music related problems. All the participating students will give short presentations on their current research during a speed-talk of four minutes. The emphasis will be given on research questions and particularly on methodological issues related to their research project. Students will receive a written feedback from the teachers that should be useful for the continuation of their research. All the participating students will present a poster about their PhD work. The posters will be on show for all the duration of the Summer School, with discussions during coffee breaks. All students will work on mini-projects focusing on the two themes of the Summer School. Results of the mini-projects will be presented on the final day of the School. Mini-projects will give the opportunity for hands-on activities such as testing software tools or planning of experiments.
