Subject: Canadian Acoust. Assoc. - music sessions From: Annabel Cohen <acohen@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2007 19:29:18 -0300 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>To the auditory list members (particularly researchers in music perception/cognition and music acoustics): The 2007 meeting of the Canadian Acoustical Association will take place October 9 - 12, in Montreal at the new (downtown) Engineering and Visual Arts Complex of Concordia University. See the conference information at: http://users.encs.concordia.ca/~caa-2007/ Abstracts are due June 8, and an optional 2-page proceedings paper for accepted papers is due July 16. I have been asked to organize one or more sessions in musical acoustics and music perception/cognition. Especially welcome are papers representing any of the following topics: tuning systems, analysis of singing, brain plasticity and music acquisition, music development, music and aging, music and neuropsychology/brain deficits, music-visual interactions, music performance, music expertise, spatial aspects of music, new instrumentation for research in music acoustics/perception/cognition, improvisation, teaching in music acoustics/perception, portable audio players, music information retrieval, and other emerging research areas. Please contact me (acohen@xxxxxxxx) by May 1st (preferably earlier) if you would be interested in participating in a special music session. Student papers are welcome. There is meeting-wide competition for the 3 best student presentations. Last year's conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia provided two lively and stimulating sessions on music, and there is every reason to expect a repeat performance in Montreal. Hope to see some of you there! Annabel Cohen, Ph. D. Professor of Psychology University of Prince Edward Island Charlottetown, PE (902) 628-4325 (phone) acohen@xxxxxxxx
