Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our research project focuses on tonal organization processing, which is fundamental on music perception. The purpose of this project is to propose the cognitive model that can explain basic properties of tonal processing including culture and expertise differences. To summarize our findings, (1) we construct the computational cognitive model that is equipped with culture-universal properties only, and (2) we identify the properties of culture differences and those of expertise differences at both the behavioral and neuroimaging levels.
