To start 2015 we have a talk from long time member Saar Golde using R, Shiny and GitHub to measure music and emotions.

A big thank you to Work-Bench for hosting the meetup this month. Please note the location on 5th Avenue between 16th and 17th Streets.

About the talk:

The ability to identify others emotions is an important aspect of human interaction. There are many different cognitive processes involved in the identification of emotions in faces, in sound or in text, some of which overlap with cognitive processes that are known to be involved in listening to music and playing musical instruments.

Well present some recent research on the relationship between emotional perception and musical training both methodology and (preliminary) findings. And since is the R meetup group, well go into detail when it comes to the data collection and analysis platform which was built in R, Shiny, and relies on GitHub for persistence.
