@kirtsconnor.bsky.social gave a presentation on the content validity assessment for his music-emotion episode instrument! Out now as a preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

#musicscience #psychometrics

Fascinating talk from @kirtsconnor.bsky.social at #ICMPC2025 highlighting the importance of using validated constructs in music emotion studies, with some instructive questions when starting a project. #musicscience

We've reached the end of #ICMPC2025 #ICMPC18!
A jam-packed week of #MusicScience research.

#ICMPC2025 keynote 5: Andrea Schiavio, Reclaiming the human element: Musical experience through the lens of 4E cognitive science

the musical mind = a cognitive ecosystem, which celebrates the human element (a full body experience that is relational and interdependent on environments)

#MusicScience

in the personalised music-based interventions for neurocog and mental health disorders

really cool studies (and results) shared. with discussion points around refinement in personalisation + consideration of behaviour and brain ftn + set/setting influencing efficacy

#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience

📢📢📢 A call to the #MusicScience community!

PLEASE help re: the planning for the next #ICMPC conference (to be held in 2027)

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...

#musicscience #psychometrics #measurement

Been having some wonderful and really engaging discussions with many of the #ICMPC18 attendees this year in São Paulo!
So lucky to be doing research in this field alongside such brilliant and thoughtful people 🧠💫

(P.S. this work is published! You can read it here: doi.org/10.1177/0305...)

Andrew Goldman, The contingency of music cognition

Argues for the importance of multiple forms of inquiry that describe musical practice and for considering contingency to clarify overly-universalist claims
