We will develop collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects, educational opportunities, and community outreach projects in music cognition. Research projects of interest to the members include: the perception and cognition of music and other auditory input; music and language processing and acquisition; effects of music in clinical settings for treatment of psychiatric disorders, neurodivergences, and neurodegenerative diseases; and music learning and dyslexia. 

Cluster activities will include workshops offering interdisciplinary education, a speaker series welcoming prominent researchers in music cognition, and outreach events connecting the work of the research cluster to the community.
