Abstract
With our approach we pursue several general purposes. A first goal is to establish the cognitive science of music as a scientific research program on the musical mind as part of a science of mind in the epistemological framework of cognitive science in musicology. Cognitive science of music in the disciplinary field of musicology is termed “cognitive musicology”. The second goal of our approach is to extend cognitive musicology to the study of new media art, especially artificial life art and musical robotics, interactive audio programming, and augmented environments. As a third goal we aim at combining research issues from media and cognitive science. Key concepts in this framework are “mediality” and “cognitive artifact”. An educational goal of our approach is to facilitate the understanding of “computation” and the use of algorithmic agents in music and the arts for students in the liberal arts or humanities. Therefore, robot programming has been introduced as part of a general education on information technology and cognitive science in some of our courses.
