The 11th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition
(ICMPC11) will be held at the University of Washington (Seattle) on Aug
23-27, 2010.

Online abstract submission is now open.  The submission deadline is Dec
15th. The call for papers and submission information can be found here:

http://depts.washington.edu/icmpc11/submit.html

This conference is the largest gathering of researchers working on the
psychology of music, and is held every two years. It rotates between the
US, Europe,and Asia.

I would especially like to encourage graduate students interested in music
cognition to attend this meeting.  Students are eligible to apply for
travel and research awards (young researchers are also eligible for the
latter award; see the above webpage for details).

Some suggested topic areas for abstracts are listed below.  ICMPC11 also
welcomes proposals for symposia and/or workshops, as detailed on the website.

Please direct any conference-related questions to: icmpc11@uw.edu
