\nThe Music, Mind, and Invention Workshop will take place March
\n30 and 31, 2012 at The College of New Jersey. Its purpose will
\nbe to explore the rich interconnections between music, cognition,
\ncomputation, and creativity, addressing themes such as: creativity
\nacross disciplines, ways of thinking about music, and music as a
\nmedium for improvement. The workshop will feature a keynote address
\nby Marvin Minsky, invited talks by Noam Elkies, Tod Machover, and
\nDmitri Tymoczko, and Diana Deutsch (tentative), panel discussions,
\nand presentations of peer-reviewed papers and creative work.
\nSubmissions that present novel theories, late-breaking results,
\nand new ways of addressing unresolved questions are welcome. Special
\nefforts will be made to recruit submissions and reviewers from a
\nbroad range of disciplines. The workshop will be open to the public.<\/p>\n
\nThe topics of the workshop have been designed to provide a framework
\nfor presentations and discussions about fundamental and unresolved
\nquestions in the contributing disciplines, drawing upon aspects of
\nMarvin Minsky\u2019s article, \u201cMusic, Mind and Meaning\u201d [1]:<\/p>\n
\nscientists contribute to each other\u2019s disciplines? Can listening
\nto or creating music help us find more imaginative and effective
\nsolutions to scientific and computational problems? Can scientific
\nmethods help musicians to be more effective? How to foster and
\nevaluate different types of creativity and creative outcomes. Can
\nmusical concepts or ways of thinking influence and improve other
\npursuits? Definitions and types of creativity, how creativity can
\nbe measured, and whether it is possible to enhance creativity
\nthrough musical activities and musical thinking.<\/p>\n
\nmusic and computation\/AI. Robotics as a platform for modeling and
\nsimulating human musical behaviors so as to better understand them.
\nMusic as embodied computation. Computational descriptions for musical
\ngestures and movement. Theoretical frameworks and conceptual models
\nof musical cognition, gesture, and expression.<\/p>\n
\nmotivating and increasing mental focus and physical stamina? Music\u2019s
\neffects on psychomotor processes and emotion. Music as an effective
\ntechnique and therapy for brain and speech disorders. Healing and
\nmotivational functions of music. Recent brain research in music.<\/p>\n
\n(but not limited to): Music Perception\/Cognition, Artificial
\nIntelligence, Computational Musicology, Mathematics, Music Theory,
\nComputer Science, Music Information Retrieval, Aesthetics, Creativity,
\nComputer Music, Musical Robotics, New Interfaces for Musical
\nExpression, and Affective Computing.<\/p>\n
\nWe encourage submissions of 1-2 page extended abstracts on topics related
\nto the workshop themes. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to
\nsubmit camera-ready papers and present 30-minute talks at the workshop in
\nsingle-track sessions. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed according to
\ntheir novelty, technical content, clarity, and contribution to the overall
\nbalance of topics and disciplines. Peer reviewers will be selected from a
\nbroad range of related disciplines, to ensure that papers and creative work
\nare reviewed equitably. Approximately ten papers among the workshop
\nsubmissions will be invited to submit an expanded paper toward publication
\nin a shared volume after the workshop. Guidelines and submission instructions
\nare available at:\u00a0http:\/\/www.tcnj.edu\/~mmi<\/a><\/p>\n
\nWe also encourage submissions of new creative work in areas related to the
\nworkshop themes. All submissions will be peer-reviewed according to their
\nquality and relevance to the workshop topics. Work may be submitted as either
\nStage Performances or Demonstrations. Performances will be presented in the
\nTCNJ Mayo Concert Hall on the evening of March 30; they may complement a paper
\nsubmission, or stand alone as independent works. Demonstrations will be
\npresented in spaces adjacent to the Concert Hall on March 31; they should
\nhave an interactive or audio\/visual component and may complement a paper
\nsubmission. Guidelines and submission instructions are available at:
