Music Perception and Cognition

本研究计划旨在对研究较少的音乐参数-乐器（包括电动和电子乐器）的音色进行科学和人文相结合的研究。本课程将透过古典、流行及世界音乐的配器练习，探讨音色在音乐材料及形式的感知上所扮演的角色，以及音色对聆听者情绪的影响。其主要成果将是为配器理论建立一个感性基础，并为配器科学和配器创作创建开放获取的工具，包括基于感性原理的配器分析数据库和在线配器教学资源。

This research program aims to develop combined scientific and humanistic research on alittle-studied musical parameter, the timbre of musical instruments (including electric and electronic ones). It will explore the roles that timbre plays in the perception of musical materials and forms as well as in their emotional impact onlisteners through orchestration practice in classical, popular and world musics. Its major accomplishments will be the establishment of a perceptual foundation fororchestration theory and the creation of open-access tools for orchestration scienceand orchestral creation, including an orchestration analysis database and onlineorchestration pedagogy resource based on perceptual principles.
