न नादेन विना गीतं न नादेन विना स्वरः । न नादेन विना नृत्यं तस्मान्नादात्मकं जगत् ॥
न नादेन विना गीतं न नादेन विना स्वरः । न नादेन विना नृत्यं तस्मान्नादात्मकं जगत् ॥
There is no song without the Nada, nor music without it;
There is no song without the Nada, nor music without it;
Without Nada there is no dance. Indeed the whole creation itself is Nada.

Jadavpur University, in the year 2004, took the initiative to create Sir C V Raman Centre for Physics and Music for exhaustive study in these areas. A small amount of donation was received from the wife of Late Sri Samir Kumar Mitra, an alumnus of the Department of Physics, Jadavpur University in this connection.
Vision
To be a pioneering global leader in unraveling the intricate neuro-cognitive tapestry of music perception,emotional response, and its influence on brain dynamics and consciousness. We envision a future where the profound impact of music on the human mind is deeply understood through the innovative application of nonlinear chaos theory and advanced machine learning, leading to transformative insights in neuroscience,psychology, artificial intelligence, and the study of consciousness itself.
Objectives
Neurocognitive assessment of emotion as well as emotion specificity using EEG data of different subjects with a variety of speech/music stimulus.
Studying “Human Consciousness” and Quantum dynamical effects in the human brainusing a variety of auditory stimulus.
To study the changes of EEG signals with the changes in different important features of speech and music like tempo, rhythm, different frequencies, prosodic variations etc.
Using Artificial Intelligence and neural network architectures for classification of variety of Indian music clips as well as emotions from neural signals
Development of a novel yoga-music protocol for enhancement of overall literacy and wellbeing of school going population

Research Agenda covers a Multidisciplinary Programme Integrating Physics, Acoustics, Cognition and Music. Sir C. V. Raman Centre for Physics & Music (SCVRCPM) at Jadavpur University is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research inspired by Sir C. V. Raman’s pioneering work on the physics of Indian musical instruments. The Centre integrates experimental physics, acoustics, neurocognitive science, musicology and computational analysis to investigate how music, vibration, materials and the human brain interact.
