Music and Science provides an introduction and practical guidance for a scientific and systematic approach to music research. Students with a background in Humanities may find the field hard to tackle and this accessible guide will show them how to consider using an appropriate range of methods, and to introduce them to current standards of research practices including research ethics, open access, and using computational tools such as R for analysis. These research methods are used to identify the underlying patterns behind the data to better understand how music is constructed and how we are influenced by music. The book focusses on music perception and the experience of music that are approached through empirical experiments, and by analysing music that is carried out by computational tools spanning audio and score materials. The process of research, collaboration and publishing in this area of study is also explained and emphasis is given to transparent and replicable research principles. The book will be essential reading for students undertaking empirical projects, particularly in the area of music psychology but also in digital humanities and media studies.

Tuomas Eerola is Professor of Music Cognition in the Department of Music, University of Durham
