This abstract presents the creation of a Franco-Brazilian consortium entitled Experimental Musicology: Music, Cognition, and Psychophysics, which aims to emphasize research within the broad field of music with a focus on music education, cognition, neuroscience, and psychophysics, by providing concrete data to assist music educators in their practice. Unlike traditional musicology, which concentrates on historical and theoretical analyses, experimental musicology explores musical phenomena in a practical and laboratory-based manner. It is not the object of an established definition. However, based on our previous experiences and the discussions conducted to designate this group, we can infer that it is a research field that investigates music from a scientific perspective, applying methods and approaches from other disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, sociology, and technology, among others. This initiative originates from an interdisciplinary and international research group that, for many years, has focused on the following theme: the effects of music on human behavior. To this end, researchers from France (Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès) and Brazil (Federal University of Ceará, Sobral Campus) decided to formalize and expand the collaboration established 15 years ago, bringing together specialists from various complementary fields, with music as the central focus of investigation. The founding core of the consortium is composed of: four Brazilian researchers, two specialists in music education and cognition, and two in experimental psychology and neuroscience, and five French researchers, one specialist in music education and auditory perception, two in cognitive eye-tracking and experimental design, one in physiological studies, and one in cognitive didactics. It also includes a doctoral student specializing in eye-tracking applied to music education. Discussions among the consortium members revealed the need in 21st century to consolidate and disseminate studies that place music at the center of scientific inquiry, using authentic musical stimuli in ergonomic contexts. Designing experiments with musical excerpts performed in real situations is challenging because music itself is a complex element, further complicated by the artifacts associated with live performance. This complexity must be studied and documented to encourage and support researchers in this field and provide concrete evidence-based answers to recurring questions asked by music educators and musicians. Collaborative investigations between consortium members in France and Brazil will be carried out through virtual planning meetings and in-person gatherings, during which the equipment of both institutions will be used to conduct experiments.Keywords: Experimental Musicology; Consortium; Music Education.
