Registered Report: Replication and Extension of Nozaradan, Peretz, Missal and Mouraux (2011) Cognitive neuroscience research has attempted to disentangle stimulus-driven processing from conscious perceptual processing for decades. Some prior evidence for neural processing of perceived musical...

It's got a boring title but this preprint is being submitted for Stage 2 consideration at AMPPS, and is in fact very exciting!

Karli Nave led a group of labs that replicated an influential EEG study on auditory beat perception by Nozaradan et al. (2011).
