Eric Clarke, Professor of Music at the University of Sheffield, has published on the psychology of performance, the study of rhythm, and musical meaning. He was Chair of the Society for Research in Psychology of Music and Music Education from 1994-2000. Nicholas Cook is Professor of Music at Royal Holloway, University of London. His books include A Guide to Musical Analysis; Music, Imagination, and Culture; and Music: A Very Short Introduction. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and editor of the Journal of the Royal Musical Association.

Empirical Musicology provides a much-needed survey of scientific, quantitative approaches to the study of music. It is typically English in its emphasis on data gathering and analysis rather than theory building. Distinguished authors contribute chapters to a broad range of musical disciplines, including ethnographic and sociological investigations, the study of musical performance, computational modeling of musical structures, and psychoacoustics.
