| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We have published a collaborative article with 20 experts from around the world outlining goals and challenges for our project. We have also organized a symposium on "Building sustainable global collaborative research networks" with 20 more experts from around the world to work out best practices.
Unfortunately the symposium and our other research plans involving travel and conference presentations have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are still making progress via online meetings with collaborators, preparing manuscripts for submission, and collecting data for experiments that can be performed online.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Our major first step planned for this project was a symposium planned to be held in New York City on March 15, 2020. We had invited 20 world experts to attend when the COVID-19 pandemic forced us on March 3rd 2020 to postpone the symposium for one year. The pandemic has also resulted in the cancellation of several conferences we intended to present at in 2020 (Cultural Evolution Society, International Folk Music Analysis Workshop), and indefinite postponement of all travel and in-person experimental data collection.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
For the 2020 financial year, we hope to finish drafting and submitting our first major manuscript comparing global variation in rhythm perception (Jacoby et al., in prep). We will also plan to hold our first symposium in Feb 2021 (postponed from March 2020 due to COVID-19) and prepare a document summarizing its results. We will continue collecting data and submitting the results for experiments regarding perception of harmony, melody, musical similarity, and creativity based on participants in Japan, and beginning to collect data using these paradigms in other countries, as permitted by travel and in-person meeting restrictions due to the pandemic. Finally, we will pilot paradigms for music-language comparison in Japan and other countries, and possibly investigate new potential experimental paradigms and other new ideas raised at the symposium. We will continue to hold weekly/biweekly meetings between the Keio University co-investigators, semesterly meetings with all Japanese co-investigators, and monthly meetings between the PI and international collaborators (Prof. Jacoby and Prof. Margulis; all meetings online until pandemic restrictions ease).

| Causes of Carryover |
We planned to use all FY2019 funds to finance the symposium on "Building sustainable global collaborative research networks" that was planned for March 15, 2020 but had to be postponed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
