International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition is an
interdisciplinary conference devoted to the dissemination of new,
unpublished research relating to the field of music perception and
cognition. The conference is relevant for university and industry
researchers and graduate students working in psychology, cognitive
neuroscience, music theory and composition, psychophysics, music
performance, music education, music therapy and music medicine,
neurophysiology, ethnomusicology, developmental psychology,
linguistics, artificial intelligence, computer technology, and other
related fields of inquiry. The 11th biennial meeting of the conference
will be held in Seattle, Washington on the campus of the University of
Washington. Authors
are kindly requested to
submit their abstract by filling in the appropriate online form using
the links below. The maximum abstract length is 400 words. The
submission deadline is December 15, 2009. The conference language is
English and spoken papers, posters, conference proceedings, and
publications will all be in English. All paper submissions will
be considered for both spoken paper and poster presentation unless the
author specifically requests that the submission only be considered for
one or the other. Information about paper presentations, poster
dimensions, deadlines for the proceedings document and other
requirements will be communicated to authors in the acceptance letter. Submissions for the 11th ICMPC will only be accepted using the online submission process. All received submissions will be verified automatically by a return email. If you do not receive email confirmation after submitting your abstract then it was not received and you will need to resubmit. Please note that the word limits on the abstract are absolute so documents with larger word counts will either be truncated or rejected. IMPORTANT: The organizers would like to provide equal opportunities to each of the conference applicants. If you wish to present multiple papers as the first author, please consider submitting your proposals under different formats (i.e., symposium, spoken presentation, poster presentation, workshop). We believe that the format by itself does not represent the quality of contribution. However, exceptions may be allowed when the organizers acknowledge the value of multiple contributions. 1) Spoken papers and Poster presentations (Online
Form) 4) Workshops (Online Form) will provide an opportunity to demonstrate various practical aspects related to educational and therapeutic methods and settings. The time allotted for workshop sessions is 60 min/session.

TRAVEL AWARD -
sponsored by SEMPRE Application Procedure. Applicants
for the travel award must submit their proposals following their paper
submission. On the Online Paper/Poster Submission Form applicants may
check whether they would like to apply for “Travel Award.” Applicants
are then asked to send
a separate email to icmpc11@uw.edu
with the subject line TRAVEL AWARD APPLICATION and provide not only the
standard information (e.g., name, affiliation, contact address,
e-mail), but
also the following additional information: (a) their status
(student/unwaged/waged)
(b) their nationality (c) their country of current residence (c) the amount of funding they are seeking (d) why other sources of funding are not available for them (e) how participation in ICMPC 11 will assist them in their future research. Selection Procedure. Proposals
submitted by the Travel Award applicants will be evaluated through the
standard referring process coordinated by the Program
Committee. The Program Committee will compile the results of the
evaluations for the Travel
Award applicants for the ICMPC 11 Organizing Committee, which will then
make an ordinal list of
applicants based on the quality of the submissions, passing the list to
the SEMPRE Trustees for their
final decision. For ICMPC 10 (Sapporo, Japan), SEMPRE Trustees
authorized 42 awards (totaling
approximately $11,000.00) to those who actually participated in the
conference from a wide variety of countries. Expected Date of Notification. We hope to inform travel award applicants of their status by April 1, 2010.
Qualifications Applicants for this
award must be either (a) full- or part-time students or (b) researchers
who completed the highest degree within the past 3
years, AND must be the first author of the research proposed for the
presentation. The Young Researcher Award recipient(s) will be noted in
the program; their travel expenses including
accommodations (but not meals) will be covered by the sponsors. Young
Researcher Award recipients must attend the entire duration of
the conference. Application Procedure. Applicants for the Young Researcher Award must submit their proposals following their paper submission. On the Online Paper/Poster Submission Form applicants may check whether they would like to apply for the Young Researcher Award. Applicants are then asked to send a separate email to icmpc11@uw.edu with the subject line YOUNG RESEARCHER AWARD APPLICATION Applicants are asked to provide not only the standard information (e.g., name, affiliation, contact address, e-mail), but also the following additional information (a) their status (student/researcher), (b) the degree being pursued/completed (bachelor/master/doctorate), and (c) the (expected) date of the degree completion. In addition to the structured abstract for the proposed presentation, Young Researcher Award applicants will be asked to SUBMIT A FULL PAPER by 31st January 2010. Applicants who failed to meet the deadline for the full paper submission will not be considered for this award. If applicants also applied for the Travel Award along with Young Researcher Award at the time of online submission AND they failed to submit their full papers on time for the Young Researcher Award, they will still be considered for the Travel Award. The detail of full paper (e.g., length, requirements) will be coomunicated to applicants in a return email. Selection Procedure. After the
full-paper submission, the quality and potential of the applicants’
research will be evaluated by members of the Young
Researcher Award Committee. The evaluation criteria for this award are
more thorough and demanding than
the standard referring process for the Travel Award or the general
submissions. We expect to
grant one to three awards for this category, the number may vary
depending on the quality of applicants’ submissions. Expected Date of Notification. We hope to inform Applicants for the
Young Researcher Award of their status by
April 1, 2010. ICMPC
