The @InnerMusicGroup has launched a new citizen #musicscience initiative! Please contribute by filling out a very short form with examples of portrayals musical imagery (such as earworms) in fiction and popular culture! Examples and form link here musicinmyhead.org/inner-musi… Thanks!
Huge thanks to all attendees of #smpc2024 for making it such a fantastic conference! I suppose the scenery didn't hurt, either.

How WEIRD is music psychology? In 2016 I wrote a short blog post with this title. Nearly 8 years later, with collaboration from our entire lab, we've completed an article probing the diversity of participants & music used across more than a decade of #musicscience research.
How diverse are the participants and music that we use in #musicscience research? Check out our new pre-print on this topic: doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/cfyt…
Our whole lab teamed up to examine the samples and stimuli used in over 1,600 studies from the past 13 years.

Great article on nature and mental health, referencing some excellent work by from of my fabulous colleagues!! We love to see it!🤩🤩 @kate_schertz @EnvNeuroLab @svanhedger
Looking for a mental health boost? There is mounting evidence that a device-free walk in nature, even in urban nature, has a host of benefits for both our physical and psychological well-being. #NationalDayOfUnplugging apa.org/monitor/2020/04/nurt…

Every year I read a lot of grad school applications from accomplished people that don't give me the info I'm looking for. It feels like a major hidden curriculum thing. So here's (my opinion on) how to write a great Statement of Purpose/Research for a PhD program. 🧵 1/
It was such a pleasure working alongside lead author Elise Alexander and @LauraBatterink on this project. Especially cool considering this was Elise's honor's thesis! Super impressive.
Can statistical learning – typically studied by exposing participants to artificial languages – scale up to support real-world word form learning?
Our recently published paper, led by Elise Alexander with @svanhedger, suggests yes! [1/4]

New paper out in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience with @XtineMoreau and @drmarcj ! We found that children🧒and adults🧑showed similar linguistic statistical learning abilities, as measured through neural entrainment and behavioural tests: doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2022.1…
