Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In FY2022 we published 6 articles in peer-reviewed journals (PLOS ONE; Nature Reviews Neuroscience), conference proceedings (International Workshop on Folk Music Analysis; Joint Conference on Language Evolution) and edited volumes (Oxford Handbook of Music Corpus Studies), bringing our total published outputs to 15. We also had two Registered Reports Accepted In Principle at Peer Community In Registered Reports, two book chapters accepted, and have several preprints under review, and presented research at various international conferences, particularly the International Council for Traditional Music World Conference, where we used KAKENHI funding to enable several of our workshop coauthors to travel to present our collaborative research together. Overall we have had good success in pivoting from our initial plans to achieve high-impact research despite the challenges of the pandemic.

Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

We have continued to successfully pivot from our original plans of in-person symposia and experiments to using Zoom, online experiments, and other virtual workarounds to implement our research plans despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19. We have also begun returning to in-person meetings, experiments, and travel to international conferences.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

For the 2023 financial year, we have several major manuscripts currently in review or revision comparing global variation in music perception (Jacoby et al.,
, PsyArXiv) and production (Passmore et al. a/b, PsyArXiv; Ozaki et al., Accepted In Principle, Peer Community In Registered Reports), which we will work to publish while incorporating reviewer feedback.
Preliminary results will be presented at the International Council for Traditional Music (July 2023) and International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition (August 2023). We will continue to hold meetings between the investigators/collaborators (mostly online plus in person at the conferences mentioned above).

Causes of Carryover

We have used up most of the backlog of funds created by the changes to our symposium due to the pandemic. A small amount was unused to give us a small buffer as we are currently processing a large number of honoraria for our collaborators comparing song and speech around the world. We will continue to process these during the 2023FY
