音樂與我們的生活息息相關，為何我們喜歡聽和諧的旋律? 音樂和語言有什麼相同之處嗎? 學習音樂有什麼好處呢? 

音樂與聽覺認知實驗室藉由聽覺行為及腦磁波(MEG)和腦造影(fMRI)等工具來探討人的聽覺系統如何辨識音樂的幾種基本特性如音高，音程，旋律等的認知神經機制，並利用音樂的各種特性進一步探討音樂訓練如何影響相關之語言、情緒及記憶方面等認知功能。主要的研究議題如下:

• 旋律音高辨識 (Melodic contour processing)

• 音訊場景分析 (Auditory scene analysis)

• 噪音環境中聽辨表現(Hearing in noise performance)

• 音樂訓練 (Musician training effects)

• 絕對音感 (Absolute pitch)

• 情緒性聲音處理(Emotional sound processing)
