Centre for Music and Science

 

We are delighted to have been awarded a £20,000 grant from the Cambridge Humanities Research Grants Scheme for the project 'Transforming music cognition research through next-generation online experiments'. This grant will drive ongoing development of our PsyNet software. PsyNet provides a concise yet highly expressive language for designing diverse kinds of experiments, ranging from systematic psychoacoustic experiments to massive cultural evolution experiments. PsyNet then automates the deployment of these experiments, meaning that you can collect data from hundreds of participants with just a single terminal command. We are excited to keep working with our collaborators at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics to develop this software, and to make it ready for a public release in the coming months.
