Beim Hören zweier gleicher Töne, die nacheinander abgespielt werden, entsteht die akustische Täuschung, dass einer von beiden höher ist als der andere. Welcher als der höhere und welcher als der niedrigere Ton wahrgenommen wird, hängt von der Muttersprache des Hörers ab. Dies ist das Ergebnis einer Studie von Diana Deutsch, Psychologin an der University of California in San Diego, die sie beim 140. Treffen der Acoustical Society of America vorgestellt hat.

The new field of study in musicology is called cognitive musicology. Cognitive musicology consists of studying mental processes of the human mind related to perception, learning and production of music. This innovative, new paradigm established its position at the begining of the 1980s. In cognitive musicology high technological expertise is linked together with the profound humanistic traditions of Europe. Its research methods are close to those of natural sciences. Expecially important is the modelling of human mental processes with the help of computers. The aim of the Pythagoras Summer School in Cognitive Musicology is to give the participants good knowledge and skills in the application of the most recent scientific results, methods and technology into use with studies of cognitive musicology. The Pythagoras Summer School will include the following topics: acoustics, psychoacoustics, perception, learning and production of music, musical expression, gestures and emotions, computer simulations, brain research, cognitive musicology, and the historical and philosophical basis of cognitive musicology. The Pythagoras Summer School in Cognitive Musicology is named after Pythagoras Graduate School. This graduate school was founded in 1999 to provide a strong scientific education for post-graduate students in the field of music and sound research. The students of the school have backgrounds in both humanistic and natural sciences. More information about the Pythagoras Graduate-School can be found at www.jyu.fi/musica/Pythagoras/. The Pythagoras Summer School in Cognitive Musicology is funded by the European Union (Intensive Programmes), the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. The Summer School will be fully integrated in the curricula of the partner institutions; student completing the program will receive credit for their work. ECTS will be applied in order to facilitate credit transfer. TO WHOM? The Pythagoras Summer School in Cognitive Musicology is targeted at doctoral students of musicology and related disciplins, such as computer science, multimedia, psychology, philosophy, information science, computer science, mathematics and physics. Since multidisciplinarity is quintessential for cognitive musicology, the Pythagoras Summer School aims to bring together students representing different disciplines. TEACHING METHODS AND MATERIAL The pedagogical and didactic methods of the Pythagoras Summer School in Cognitive Musicology are based on the most recent scientific results of cognitive psychology. Each participant of the summer school will be given her/his individual learning plan. In order to keep theory and practice connected to each other, the teaching is based mainly on small-scale projects. The progress of each individual will be monitored during the course by means of learning diaries. The teaching of the Pythagoras Summer School will take full advantage of new technology. A significant part of the teaching material will be computer-based, allowing the students to pace their progress invidually. The teachers act more as observers and instructors than as traditional lecturers. Distance learning methods will be applied during the Pythagoras Summer School in co-operation with both European and non-European researchers and lecturers. The course will end with an examination. The evaluation will emphasise the students' ability to apply their knowledge of different disciplines creatively and to apply their skills in various contexts. Succesful completion of the Pythagoras Summer School will give the student 7 ECTS credits. COSTS The the Pythagoras Summer School is free for students. Moreover, part of the travel costs will be paid by the Summer School (for EU citizens only). The students are recommended to apply for scholarships from their local universities for accommodation and other possible expenses related to the Pythagoras Summer School in Cognitive Musicology. Accommodation is reserved for all students at the Kortepohja Student dormitory. The cost for accommodation will be approximately 130 EUR/person for the time of the Summer School, August 6-17. APPLICATION AND SELECTION OF STUDENTS The participants of the the Pythagoras Summer School in Cognitive Musicology will be selected by the Organizing Committee. Decisions are based on applications, in which the students describe their former studies, academic degree, motivation and scientific interests. The application form can be found on the Internet at the URL www.jyu.fi/musica/pss2001/. The applications are due February 28, 2001.
