Big news if interested in the theories behind predictive processing in #music and #speech! We recently published a preprint of our critical review on the Neural Bases of Prediction in Music and Speech. @anna5ash.bsky.social @annekosem.bsky.social @perikeller.bsky.social osf.io/preprints/ps...

Very nice intro to aphantasia ! aphantasia.com/guide

Being part of a multilab study with >100 authors is very cool, but having a co-authored paper with almost everyone in our field does limit potential reviewer options 😂 @masssimo006.bsky.social @francescatalamini.bsky.social - do you have this problem yet? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

📢 New publication alert ! 📢 🎵🧠 Is "having rhythm" one skill or several? *spoiler, we found differences between perception and production tasks, and groups of participants with strong beat-based, but weak memory-based perception. More here: nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🎶 📢 Check out our new pre-print, led by PhD candidate Francesca Cantoni, where we introduce the *popBAT* - a short, child-friendly task with groovy pop music, designed to provide an ecological measure of beat perception. See: osf.io/preprints/ps... and get in touch if you want to use it! 🎶🧪🧠

Only 2 weeks left to apply for a 2-year postdoc to come to Dijon 🇫🇷 🥐 to work with me and our lab on music and language! #musicscience 🎶🧪 More info and application here: emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

📣 Happy to share our new pre-print investigating rhythmic competencies in an internet-based sample of 300 participants - Check it out here! osf.io/preprints/ps... Nice collaboration with Nick Foster, Reyna Gordon, Simone Dalla Bella, and Barbara Tillmann 😁 🎵🧪 #musicscience 🎶

📣 I am searching for a postdoc!! 📣 📌 Université Bourgogne Europe, CNRS, Dijon, France 🌍 ⌛ 2 years 📚 Music rhythm, language, developmental language disorders Preliminary details below - please get in touch if you're interested! www.linkedin.com/posts/anna-f...

😊😊

Very happy to have been a part of this nice project 😊😊 #musicscience 🎶

Finally, our 4-year long project has been published! We have conducted a multi-lab study comparing STM of musicians and nonmusicians, collecting many other cognitive, personality, musical, and demographic variables! A big thank you to all collaborators! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Finally out! Do musicians have better short-term memory than nonmusicians? This is what we investigated in a multilab that joined together 33 research units from 15 different countries.

Here we go! Looking forward to #icon2025 in Porto 🥳

Dear musician friends, My PhD student, Aliya, is doing a survey asking musicians to describe how they use imagining music in their heads in their work. It will likely take you less than 20 minutes, and you can win an Amazon voucher. Thanks in advance! durhamuniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
