Abstract: The goal of the present study is to develop a Chinese-tailored experimental platform for music perception assessment of Chinese cochlear implant users.Music perception performance is assessed by using listening tasks and questionnaires.The listening task includes the pitch just noticeable difference test,the pitch-direction discrimination test and melody contour identification test.Five timbres and three frequency ranges are available for each test.Musical Background and Appreciation Questionnaire and Appreciation of Music Questionnaire are used to investigate the relationship between music perception and music experience of cochlear implant users before or after implantation.Three cochlear implant users and six normal hearing listeners have participated the system-verification test.The test results are consistent with the previous music perception studies.
