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...

Great self-diagnostic tests about your well-being in academia. By going through the survey, you get to reflect what elements are a drain and many – but not all – of these we can influence. I'm looking forward to see what this early career team can put together for the February webinar #musicscience

I’m thinking of reigning in a collaborative/GitHub #rstats project to have a reproducible environment: Would you recommend renv or rix for this? Project utilises a mixture of GitHub / CRAN packages & users have different OSes (Mac/Win).

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.

Our new @musicpsychologylab.bsky.social account looks great. Notice the facilities (built in 1093) literally next to our lab in the background of the group photo.

New theory out! What do you get when you mix music and emotion regulation literature with the functions of music and explanations of music-induced emotions? You get a new theory called the 'Episode Model of Emotional Experiences of Music' 1/5 #musicscience

I made a 1-minute YouTube video of how to create an index to a book with keywords, page proofs and python scripting. youtu.be/E50CeDgoBIA #musicscience #book #workclevernothard

Final #escom12 keynote given by Bruno Mesz who took us on a whirlwind tour of #crossmodal interactions with music. So many mappings (#smell, #shape, #colour, #taste) make sense with music but the level of explanation is not always easy to establish #musicscience

This was my personal favourite talk so far at #ESCOM12York: Geoff Luck & Alessandro Ansani show a hockey stick function between performed tempo and age using a large Spotify-derived corpus. The result matches the changes in spontaneous motor tempo across life-span #musicscience #escom12

Engaging summary of chills while performing music by Scott Bannister and Emily Payne at #escom12: They highlight the many ways performers occasionally experience chills (feeling accomplishment, immersion, connecting with audience, togetherness,..). What a great topic for #musicscience
