This session serves as a forum for discussing various music discovery systems currently available on the world wide web. Examples of such systems are not restricted to only those that rely on audio features extracted from music data for making recommendations, but also include those that rely on user & genre tags, data mining from…

From the Abstract: The ability to anticipate forthcoming events has clear evolutionary advantages, and predictive successes or failures often entail significant psychological and physiological consequences. In music perception, the confirmation and violation of expectations are critical to the communication of emotion and aesthetic effects of a composition. Neuroscientific research on musical expectations has focused on…
