EmCAP’s goal is to investigate how complex cognitive behaviour in artificial systems can emerge through interacting with an environment, and how, by becoming sensitive to the properties of the environment, such systems can autonomously develop effective representations. EmCAP will investigate music cognition through perceptual experiments and computational modelling studies, embodying our understanding in the construction of an emergent interactive music system, which will learn to develop representations and expectations in response to the music it experiences, and will use these predictions to generate actions in the form of appropriately timed and pitched sounds.
