As always, host Bob Barrett selects an Academic Minute to air during The Best of Our Knowledge.
Each week this program examines some of the issues unique to college campuses, looks at the latest research, and invites commentary from experts and administrators from all levels of education.
For today’s edition, he’s picked Dr. Daniel Müllensiefen’s segment: Measuring Musicality.
Dr. Daniel Müllensiefen obtained his PhD in Systematic Musicology from the University of Hamburg, Germany, and subsequently worked as a Research Fellow in the computing department at Goldsmiths, University of London. Since 2009 he has been working in the psychology department at Goldsmiths as a lecturer and co-director of the Master’s programme in Music, Mind and Brain. His main research areas include computational models of music perception and cognition and individual differences in musical expertise.
