Welcome

EmCAP (Emergent Cognition through Active Perception) is a research project in the field of Music Cognition funded by the European Commission (FP6-IST, contract 013123).

It started in October 2005 and will finish by September 2008.

On this website you will find information about the project, its partners, scientific publications and our showcase.

Goal

Our goal is to investigate how complex cognitive behaviour in artificial systems can emerge through interacting with an environment, and how, by becoming sensitive to the properties of the environment, such systems can autonomously develop effective representations.
