Revision as of 09:41, 10 June 2008
This page serves as a central forum for the Music and Brain course at the Guidel 2008 summer academy of the German National Merit Foundation.
The course is organized by Daniel Mietchen (Citizendium page/ lab page) and Stefan Koelsch (lab page).
It has two major aims – it seeks to provide participants with
- an up-to-date overview about how the brain perceives and produces music and
- an insider experience in a collaborative learning environment.
The task for each participant is to give a presentation on a topic relevant to music perception and cognition (see list below), and to assist at least one other participant in the preparation of their presentation.
Further than that, we wish to encourage participants to share the knowledge they gain in the preparation of their talks, preferably by creating an encyclopedic wiki entry about their respective topics. The language of the course will be German, and so the German Wikipedia would be one option for sharing but Wikipedia has a number of drawbacks, most notably vandalism, whereas Citizendium's policy (e.g. requiring real names) drastically reduces or effectively eliminates such problems. Most of the topics covered in the course do not have an entry yet in either of the Wikipedias or Citizendium, while the few entries that exist are of rather poor quality or very short, such that they will have to be re-written or expanded anyway. Under these circumstances, we deem Citizendium (which currently has only an English language version) to be most suited for the course. German will be allowed on this page and its subpages, though.
Schedule
30 June 2008 -- Topic selection due
31 July 2008 -- Rough draft due
31 August 2008 -- Final draft due
7-20 September 2008 -- Guidel summer academy
Writing instructions
CZ:How to edit an article gives general instructions on how to edit Citizendium pages. Remember we are creating an encyclopedia here, and so the individual articles should be informative as well as nicely phrased and illustrated. They should cover all aspects relevant to the topic such that an interested lay reader (imagine yourself as an undergraduate) can digest it and find suitable references for in-depth study. In contrast to Wikipedia, Citizendium makes use of subpages for these purposes.
If you want to invite other Citizendium authors (everybody here) or editors (a subset of everybody, with specialist knowledge in some area) to join you in working on your article, add this text: "{{EZarticle-open-auto}}" (just what's inside the "'s) just below the "{{Subpages}}" at the top of your article page. It produces this notice:
 Besides, many other Eduzendium articles welcome your collaboration! |
We strongly encourage such collaborative editing but if you want to make sure no other Citizendium authors or editors does anything to your article while you are working on it, add this text: "{{EZarticle-closed-auto}}" (just what's inside the "'s) just below the "{{Subpages}}" at the top of your article. It produces this notice:
 Articles that lack this notice, including many Eduzendium ones, welcome your collaboration! |
Please also keep in mind that copyright restrictions may allow you to use some materials for your presentation but not here.
List of possible topics
For a start, have a look at List of music psychology topics. More information will follow. Test user will work on
Music perception: The study of the neural mechanisms involved in people perceiving rhythms, melodies, harmonies and other musical features. [e]
