Assistant Professor of Sonic Arts Johanna Devaney was awarded a $100,000 NEH Digital Humanities Grant for AMPACT: Automatic Music Performance Analysis and Comparison Toolkit, a suite of tools to enable the computational analysis of musical performances. She is also participating in a project funded by a partnership grant from the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. This project focuses on how group singing can help people with communication disorders. Devaney will be using her music performance analysis tools to help in the computational analysis component of the project.
