UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN SYDNEY: TACKLING BIGGER, UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

摘要

Experimental psychologists, neu-roscientists, engineers, computer scientists, linguists, composers and dancers-few people might guess what kind of research projects would require such a diverse team of professionals, but Kate Stevens from the MARCS Institute of the University of Western Sydney (UWS) knows. She is the leader of Music Cognition and Action, a research program that uses behavioral and neurophysi-ological approaches to study the temporal dynamics of perception and creativity, as well as individual and group performance."We are trying to understand how innovation and knowledge emerge from a group,"says Stevens, "However, these are difficult and complex questions that require an interdisciplinary team to answer."
