This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Award (CFDA 47.070) provides $447,517 to the University of Rochester to support an interdisciplinary Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on computational methods for understanding music, media, and human cognition. The project will engage undergraduate students in research combining machine learning, computer audition, music theory, and cognitive science. Key research areas include neural encoding of music listening and memory, algorithms for music motif search and generation, EEG signal analysis to decode musical perception, and technologies to improve communication for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. The REU site aims to broaden participation in STEM graduate programs and produce novel, publishable research in areas like machine learning, music cognition, human-computer interaction, and computer vision. The award period runs from June 2025 to May 2028.
