Ep. 35 - Musical Complexity, Predictability & Enjoyment ft. Alexander Albury
Our guest this week is Alexander Albury, PhD candidate in Psychology at Concordia University. His research is focused on uncovering the relationship between complexity, predictability and liking of music! Tune in for:
Questions Answered
Is music more of an art or a science?
Can we tell the difference between human-made and artifical music?
What makes music complex and how do you even quantify complexity?
How do we differentiate the same note played on different instruments?
How do we meaure musical learning?
Who are the better predictors of melody: Jazz or Classical musicians?
Is learning language like learning an instrument?
and many more!
Topics & Concepts Covered
Music: Art vs. Science
Artificially Composed Music
The Duality of Complexity & Predictability
Cultural Idiosyncrasies
Musical Experience
Timbre
Timing & Beat
Expectancy & Liking
Quantifying Complexity
Machine Learning: Predicting Music
Psychophysics & Inverted U-Shaped Relationships
Measuring Learning: Raw Accuracy & Asynchrony
Language vs. Music
Statistical Learning Theory
We Want To Hear From You, Yes, You!
