Lincoln G. Craton
Professor of Psychology
Biography
Professor Craton is originally from Michigan. His current music cognition research explores the qualia evoked by tones and chords, using computational models to test hypotheses about the biological basis of chord perception. When that seems too narrow, he pursues his other research interest, which is theorizing about the diverse mechanisms underlying musical response more generally. When that seems too broad, he returns to his research on chord perception. Lather, rinse, repeat.
