RESEARCH

Research at IPEM has a focus on music information retrieval and embodied music cognition, comprising topics related to archiving, interactive multimedia, audio/data-mining, music search and retrieval, music and movement, emotions, and neuroscience. The IPEM approach is based on computational and empirical methods, which includes the use of acoustical/sonological, perceptual/motor, cognitive/emotive, and social/cultural approaches to music analysis. IPEM thereby aims at bridging objective measurement with subjective experience.

Skills at IPEM are situated in diverse domains, such as, musical audio description (manual and automatic), monitoring sensitive body responses to music, computational music processing, user-centered analysis, statistical processing, and theory formation.
