Stephen McAdams is a distinguished researcher in music perception and cognition, currently serving as a professor at McGill University's Schulich School of Music. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Music Perception and Cognition and directs the Music Perception and Cognition Laboratory[1].
His research focuses on Psychoacoustics[2], Multidimensional Scaling auditory perception, particularly the perception and cognition of musical timbre, auditory scene analysis, and the perceptual foundations of orchestration practice. McAdams has significantly contributed to understanding how listeners perceive and organize musical sounds, emphasizing the role of timbre in music perception[3]. He also directs ACTOR (Analysis, Creation, and Teaching of ORchestration), an international research partnership focused on "enhanc(ing) attention to timbre and orchestration by bringing its musical use to the forefront of scholarship, practice, and public awareness with world-class artists, humanists, and scientists[4]."
Throughout his career, McAdams has received numerous accolades, including being named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2022 and receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Music Perception and Cognition the same year[1].
In addition to his research, McAdams has authored and co-authored several influential publications in the field of music psychology, contributing to the academic discourse on how humans perceive and process musical information[3]. McAdams has, as of 2024-10-31, published 418 scholarly works[2]. He co-authored "Thinking in Sound: The Cognitive Psychology of Human Audition" with fr:Emmanuel Bigand, ISBN 978-0198522584.
