CANADIAN MUSIC RESEARCH CENTRE
Canadian Music Research Centre
Understanding Sound in Human Experience
The Canadian Music Research Centre (CMRC) is a synergistic and collaborative group of researchers exploring connections of sound to human experience. The most evident form of sound is music but the interests of this centre extend to the scientific study of sound connections in the broad areas of neurology, physiology, medicine, education, and performance, and narrow applications like semiotics, acoustics, digital representation, biophysical pulsation, and neurological response. Research in CMRC is organized into five spheres: (1) Sound (2) Health, Therapy, and Medicine; (3) Body, Brain, and Mind; (4) Culture and Society; and (5). Teaching, Learning, and Performing
