Great study out from @lennietm.bsky.social showing that an individual’s goals can shape the induced emotional response to music, even the same piece of music. Music evoked emotions aren’t just stimulus driven, we also need to understand functions and goals.

Computational models for music emotion recognition (MER) have steadily improved. Our meta-analysis is now out in ACM Computing Surveys. We reviewed 34 studies comprising 290 models, distilled from a much larger initial pool. #musicscience #musicpsych #emotion #MIR
We've also taken these representative items forward in a factor analysis study, which you can also read! doi.org/10.31234/osf...
Scrutinising the content and having a clear theory guiding dimensionality and interpretability was beneficial while developing five distinct scales. 📊🔍
Excited to announce our article has been published! doi.org/10.1177/2059...
I led a project to operationalise constructs that identify the emotional episodes people experience listening to music. #MusicScience experts assessed items against prior theory, a surprisingly under reported practice 🔭❗

Cool stuff coming out from PhD work done by @nashraa.bsky.social!

Fantastic display of collaboration in #musicpsych!!
Fascinating to hear @kellyjakubowski.bsky.social talk at Leeds about how music shapes imagination, covering importance of genre, age, auditory features and contextual associations with music for content of imagined thoughts when listening! Brilliant collaborative work!
Which memorisation techniques help young piano students perform their best?
PhD @charasteliou.bsky.social presented at #ISPS25 in Shanghai, showing that multimodal memorisation goes beyond repetition exercises in a pedagogical intervention study.

How does a performer's interpretation of timing and dynamics affect the emotions we perceive in music?
We explore this question and more in our latest article published in QJEP:

Great to see ECR colleagues promoted in the #musicscience community. Best of luck to @harinlee.info!
It was a pleasure to get a quick interview with Lalit while at #ICMPC18 in São Paulo.

“Conferences, huh. What’s the point?”
@hazelvanderwalle.bsky.social @katiesvish.bsky.social & @kirtsconnor.bsky.social reflect on this conference season and why we bother going to conferences anyway.

2027! It is every two years :) will be co-occurring with ESCOM (which is every 3!)
The next one will be in Helsinki 2027!
Noticed a lot of new people and labs on Bluesky who attended #ICMPC18
I’ve added @co3lab.bsky.social and @smmb-lab.bsky.social to this starter pack!
Share it with people who are new to bsky! Also feel free to recommend any #musicscience related labs left out.

@kirtsconnor.bsky.social gave a talk at #ICMPC18 on steps researchers can take to report their #measurement decisions and what questionable practices are common for the discipline #musicscience #psychometrics
Had a blast 💥 at #ICMPC18 in São Paulo!! Super lucky for the opportunity to disseminate our research and engage with international colleagues! 🌏🌍🌎
Great to be in São Paulo to present what I’ve been working on at #ICMPC18! Go check it out doi.org/10.31234/osf...

exciting news this Saturday: another article PUBLISHED!! “Thoughtscapes” takes a deeper look people’s thought landscape while listening the range of music clips and styles in the MUSIFEAST-17 stimulus set :)) 👂💭 🎨💥🎬 doi.org/10.1177/0305...
#musicscience workshop #RPPW20 all about rhythm perception kicking off @coe-mmbb.bsky.social 😮
Thank you for the kind words Lennie! 😎
Putting this on the #musicscience radar for those who may not know about this opportunity or follow @musiccognition.bsky.social!!
