We found that sleep- and relaxation-related comments were associated with having no melody, slower tempo, fewer than five instruments, and a repetitive structure. Conversely, distraction-and mood-related comments were linked to music with higher dynamic variation and more than five instruments
New paper out in Music Perception 🎶😀
With @musicinthebrain.bsky.social colleagues, we analyzed YouTube comments and found the first evidence of a link between sleep music motivations and sleep music characteristics 🎷🎸🎻😴

These findings suggest reduced flexibility in the neural dynamics of whole-brain activity in insomnia disorder and highlight the importance of using methods that account for temporal dynamics to advance our understanding of this complex disorder.
Specifically, the brain activity of insomnia participants showed more time in a global activation state and less time with the Default Mode Network and a fronto-parietal network.
Using Hidden Markov Modelling, we evaluated whole-brain dynamics in participants with insomnia disorder compared to good sleeper controls. Results showed that people with insomnia transitioned significantly less between brain states during wakeful rest.

We studied brain-heart interactions during mind wandering and mind blanking.
Mind blanking is associated with a greater heart/brain decoupling, complicating the idea of an attentional switch between external & internal environments!

@musiccognition.bsky.social and others have made something wonderful: a science game for matching familiar melodies from around the world.
Play TuneTwins and help us advance research on music cognition. (Seen at #ICMPC, more to come!)
Looking forward to hearing Prof. Marcus Pearce and the #ConfMusSleep may next year!
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:
