SUMMARY:Methodological Challenges and Perspectives in Multimodal Music Performance Research
DESCRIPTION:Symposium SAMUSE\n\nMusic performance is a complex, multimodal activity that relies on a highly coordinated interplay of cognitive, emotional, and motor processes. Fully understanding this dynamic act requires methodological approaches capable of capturing, analysing, and interpreting these dimensions. Psychophysiological and biomechanical methods, among others, offer valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying music performance; however, each technique introduces additional layers of complexity related to data acquisition, processing, and in-terpretation, while also raising challenges regarding ecological validity in experimental contexts.\n\nThis two-day workshop brings together leading researchers with expertise in these methodological approaches to examine conceptual and methodological issues associated with integrating psychophysiological and biomechanical data, including advanced analytical techniques and computational modelling. In fostering dialogue across musicology, neuroscience, engineering, and computer science, the workshop aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and define future research directions. By addressing these challenges, the symposium seeks to advance our understanding of the complexities of music performance and support the development of integrated, ecologically valid research methodologies.\n\nKeynote speakers\n\n• Giacomo Novembre (IT): Methodological challenges and innovations in the neuroscience of music, dance and social interaction\n\n• George Waddell (UK): Decoding Performance: Capturing, Analysing, Evaluating, and Enhancing Performance in Live and Simulated Environments\n\n• Laura Bishop (NO): Capturing bodily expressivity and coordination in classical ensemble playing using eye-tracking and motion capture\n\n• Saravanakumar Duraisamy (LU): Shining Light on the Musical Mind: Exploring Brain Activity in Real Performance with fNIRS\n\n• Ernest Kamavuako (UK): Making Sense of Sensors: Methodological Considerations in Biomechanical and Physiological Sensor Fusion\n\n• Inès Chihi (LU): When Sensors Learn to Fix Themselves for an AI Beyond Listening\n\nOrganisation & Contact\n\nLaura Serra Marin & Prof. Dr. Luc Nijs, Institute of Musicology and the Arts, University of Luxembourg\n\nlaura.serramarin@uni.lu \n\nLocation: https://www.uni.lu/fr/a-propos/campus/campus-belval/#maison-des-science-humaines\nRead more: https://www.uni.lu/fhse-en/events/methodological-challenges-and-perspectives-in-multimodal-music-performance-research/
