musIC is a project related with the research about music perception with cochlear implant devices, and aims to understand how these devices can be further developed. The cochlear implant is a medical implanted device that has been designed mainly to restore the perception of speech sounds, but still has many limitations in musical listening. With this objective we are organizing a concert specially designed considering the limitations when listening into music with cochlear implants. The concert is also intended for the general public.
We will hear pieces played with different instruments and formations: a string quartet and flute, soprano, piano, guitar and ReacTable, an interactive electronic instrument developed by the Music Technology Group.
With this concert will try to better understand how music is perceived. Attendees can contribute to research by participating in a survey about this musical experience.
musIC is a project created from the reasearch of Waldo Nogueira, researcher of the Music Technology Group, about the perception of the music through the cochlear implants. More information about Waldo Nogueira.
