Excited to share our new research revealing automatic categorization of rhythm in human brain activity! Led by @francescabarbero.bsky.social, @tomaslenc.bsky.social and the Rhythm and Brains Lab, in collaboration with @norijacoby.bsky.social, Rainer Polak and @manuelvarlet.bsky.social

I’m hiring a lab manager for my new music cognition lab at Cornell. I’m also looking to recruit PhD students and postdocs next year. I’ll be at #ICMPC_SaoPaulo and #CogSci2025—feel free to reach out or spread the word for relevant candidates.

The @co3lab.bsky.social at Cornell is hiring a lab manager. Focus: Computational music cognition Skills: Python, R, machine learning, strong work ethic Role: Run global experiments, develop experiments, grow as a researcher. I’ll be at #ICMPC_SaoPaulo and #CogSci2025—feel free to reach out!

Excited to share our new research—led by @harinlee.info —using rare @researchdeezer.bsky.social data to uncover how music choices reflect both individual preferences and city-level cultural patterns. A unique collaboration between science and industry! 🎶📊 #BigData @co3lab.bsky.social

Big cities are vibrant hubs of culture, but why exactly is that? Now out in @natcomms.nature.com, we analysed music listening patterns of over 2.5 million people and demographics to examine mechanisms driving cultural diversity. With @researchdeezer.bsky.social @norijacoby.bsky.social Highlights ⬇

I am proud to share that my PhD student @harinlee.info co-supervised by Marc Schönwiesner, has won the student best paper award at #ICMPC! www.icmpc2025.abcogmus.com/conteudo/vie... If you are interested in doing cutting edge work on music and culture consider joining us on @co3lab.bsky.social

We are recruiting two postdoctoral scholars for a research project in human collective intelligence and creativity at UC Davis and Cornell. Joint project with @enfascination.com, @norijacoby.bsky.social, @oferon.bsky.social & Dalton Conley. Please forward this thread to relevant people. 1/n

Tomorrow at Cambridge! Visiting the Centre for Music & Science led by @pmcharrison.bsky.social www.mus.cam.ac.uk/events/under...

We are recruiting postdocs! Want to grow your own social networks to study creativity, cultural evolution & decision-making? We are hiring an NSF-funded postdoc at Cornell in collaboration with UC Davis, CUNY, & Princeton. Apply here : academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28959

I am seeking PhD students to join my new lab at Cornell! Work with me at @co3lab.bsky.social on perception and internal representations, cultural evolution, large scale online experiments, cross cultural experiments or computational music cognition. Please contact me ASAP if you are interested!

I’ll be teaching an undergraduate course on perception next semester and would love to hear any ideas you might have. If you have any syllabi, slides, demos, or other resources, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Are you interested in perception, culture, & big-data analysis? Join my new lab at Cornell: COCOCO: COrnell COmputational COgnition! Multiple PhD & Postdoc opportunities available: . Please retweet & spread the word! @CO3lab 1/6

We are recruiting two postdocs for an interdisciplinary NSF-funded project in collective behavior. Joint project with @enfascination(@ucdavis), @daltonconley (@Princeton), Ofer Tchernichovski(@CUNY) and @norijacoby (@Cornell). Please forward this thread to relevant people! 1/n

We are excited that our paper “Commonality and variation in mental representations of music revealed by a cross-cultural comparison of rhythm priors in 15 countries.” is finally published in Nature Human Behaviour. . @JoshHMcDermott @CompAudition

We are excited to share our new paper “Incentivizing free riders improves collective intelligence in social dilemmas” , just published in PNAS, @OTchernichovski, @enfascination, @norijacoby, and @daltonconley 1/n

Music people: what is the earliest explicit representation of a heartbeat in music that you know of?

A twitterless friend is looking for scientists specializing in obtaining&analyzing DNA from historical art objects /instruments in order to determine provenance - any tips are very welcome! Object is from the early 19th c. & contains ivory and various woods. @columbiacss @ps2270

Thrilled to announce that @CompAudition will be moving to @CornellPsychDpt, where I will be an assistant professor from Fall 2024. I will be recruiting for my new lab @Cornell, so please reach out/forward if relevant. @CompAudition will also continue at the @MPI_ae through 2025.

The brilliant Rainer Polak is recruiting a postdoc for the DjembeDance () project at RITMO. This is a great opportunity to work on the computational analysis of Malian music and dance (video, audio and motion capture)!
