  Much like most of cognition research, music cognition is an interdisciplinary
field, which attempts to apply methods of cognitive science (neurological,
computational and experimental) to understand the perception and process of
composition of music. In this paper, we first motivate why music is relevant to
cognitive scientists and give an overview of the approaches to computational
modelling of music cognition. We then review literature on the various models
of music perception, including non-computational models, computational
non-cognitive models and computational cognitive models. Lastly, we review
literature on modelling the creative behaviour and on computer systems capable
of composing music. Since a lot of technical terms from music theory have been
used, we have appended a list of relevant terms and their definitions at the
end.
