Description:

Investigating language and music in the field of cognitive science means
studying them as (computational) neurocognitive systems, i.e., information
processing systems in the mind/brain.

Thus, language and music cognition research deals with the following
questions:
- What is computed in the mind/brain and why?
- How is a particular computation realized in terms of algorithms or neural
implementation?

Formal-mathematical theory of language and music mainly contributed to the
former question, while computer simulations of cognitive and neural processes
rather tackled the latter question. The current workshop discusses different
computational approaches and aims at clarifying the role of computational
modelling to advance mechanistic explanations to language and music cognition.

The topics of the workshop are:

- Computational and conceptual neurocognitive models of language and music
processing
- Models of interaction and situated music and language cognition
- Computational music theory and computational linguistics

Overall, this workshop also aims at fostering computational thinking as a core
competence enabling interdisciplinary communication and welcomes students and 
researchers interested in modelling cognition of music and language.

Invited speakers:

Alexander Clark (King's College London, UK)
Richard Cooper (Birkbeck University of London, UK)
Peter Ford Dominey (INSERM U846 Stem Cell and Brain Research Institute &
Université de Lyon, France)
David Temperley (Eastman School of Music, USA)
