What emotions does music express? Through 3 experiments with association tasks & context-based activities with 5000+ participants & 600+ affect terms, we report structures that differ from music-induced emotions such as romantic, in love, free, & festive #musicscience doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Visualisation of search frequency of 213 affect terms, term similarities and clustering solution for 88 prominent terms, and the terms positioned within the affective circumplex space

Cool study! Two pianists, separated in different rooms: one plays right hand part, the other left. Using MPVA it suggests that the premotor cortex is anticipating the other player's hand while M1 sorts out their own. 🧠🎶🎹 doi.org/10.3389/fnhu... #musicscience #neuroskyence

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? Then you might be interested in our new #musicscience work just published in PLOSBiology doi.org/10.1371/jour... We used decoding to investigate how the brain represents perceived and imagined musical sounds. Check it out!

What happens in the brain when we manipulate our thoughts? We asked 30 epilepsy patients to mentally invert short melodies. Intracerebral #iEEG recordings suggest brain synchrony and sensory inhibition are key for mental manipulation: doi.org/10.1101/2025... #neuroskyence #musicscience

Brain Dynamics of Mental Manipulation

Humans effortlessly juggle their internal thoughts, but the neuronal dynamics that support mental manipulation are largely unknown. Leveraging the high spatiotemporal fidelity of intracranial recordin...

You had me at "MRI- compatible cello" 😲 #musicscience #neuroskyence

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences @pnas.org

One of the most-viewed PNAS articles in the last week is “Neural network retuning and neural predictors of learning success associated with cello training.” Explore the article here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... For more trending articles, visit ow.ly/Me2U50SkLRZ.

Design and behavioral results. (A) An MRI-compatible cello was used for training and scan sessions. (B) The longitudinal repeated-measure protocol with three scans and eight training sessions. (C) Group average pitch errors and tempo errors across training sessions. (D) Group average pitch errors, tempo errors, and performance scores across scanning sessions. Here, the performance scores were linearly rescaled considering the pitch and tempo datasets of both scans (Methods).

How transparent is music psychology as a discipline? Unfortunately not yet near acceptable levels in making data (5%), analysis scripts (1%) available, nor committing to preregistration (0%) or replications (3%). Benchmarked to psychology in graph. New #musicscience study out doi.org/10.1177/1029...

This infographic displays the key statistics from an analysis of 239 studies in music psychology and compares the prevalence of data sharing, preregistration and open access publication to a similar analysis in psychology
