    Elizabeth Margulis has a B.M. in piano performance from the Peabody Conservatory of Music and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Her main research interest is in music cognition, particularly mechanisms of expectation and attention, and the musical experiences of listeners without formal training. Her work has appeared in journals including Music Perception, Psychology of Music, Journal of New Music Research, Music Theory Spectrum, and Human Brain Mapping, and papers are forthcoming in Computer Music Journal, Review of General Psychology, and Journal of Music Theory. A co-authored chapter on music and expectation will appear in the Handbook of Music and Emotion, forthcoming from Oxford University Press. She has presented at conferences including the International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition, the International Conference on Music and Gesture, the annual meeting of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition, and the annual meeting of the Society for Music Theory. She has been a fellow at the Santa Fe Institute Complex Systems Summer School and at the Mannes Institute for Advanced Studies in Music Theory. She is interested in arts advocacy and recently received a Classical Music Initiative Grant from American Public Media. Before coming to the University of Arkansas, she was on the faculty of the music cognition program at Northwestern University.
