 We plan to continue the trials with a slightly less restricted user interface in order
 make the experience more enjoyable and thereby give subjects longer to use the interface;
 this may allow them to get beyond the initial exploratory phase and give a clearer
 picture of their aesthetic preferences. In addition, we plan to conduct a

-We outlined our information dynamics approach to the modelling of the perception
-of music.  This approach models the subjective assessments of an observer that
-updates its probabilistic model of a process dynamically as events unfold.  We
-outlined `time-varying' information measures, including a novel `predictive
-information rate' that characterises the surprisingness and predictability of
-musical patterns.
-
-We have outlined how information dynamics can serve in three different forms of
-analysis; musicological analysis, sound categorisation and beat tracking.
+We reviewed our information dynamics approach to the modelling of the perception
+of music and have outlined several areas of application, including
+musicological analysis, audio analysis, beat tracking, and the generation
+of musical materials in a compositional aid.
 
 We have described the `Melody Triangle', a novel system that enables a user/composer
 to discover musical content in terms of the information theoretic properties of
