Cool study! Two pianists, separated in different rooms: one plays right hand part, the other left. Using MPVA it suggests that the premotor cortex is anticipating the other player's hand while M1 sorts out their own. 🧠🎶🎹 doi.org/10.3389/fnhu... #musicscience #neuroskyence

20+ years ago, an idea about cortical lateralization of audition was advanced: asymmetric sampling in time (AST). This extensive review/reevaluation by Chantal Oderbolz, me, and Martin Meyer assesses how the idea has fared. #notallwrong www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Asymmetric Sampling in Time: Evidence and perspectives

Auditory and speech signals are undisputedly processed in both left and right hemispheres, but this bilateral allocation is likely unequal. The Asymme…

Excited to kick off 2025 with new research in #MachineLearning, #Decoding, #MusicNeuroscience! Our paper, “Temporally Dissociable Neural Representations of Pitch Height and Chroma”, now in @sfnjournals.bsky.social doi.org/10.1523/JNEU... @davidpoeppel.bsky.social, @xiangbin-teng.bsky.social! 🧠🎵 1/n

Exciting new work from one of my outstanding colleagues! 🎉 A comprehensive framework unifying visual working memory mechanisms, built from a large-scale experiment. Kudos! 👏

Excited to share our new work in @naturecomms.bsky.social . Introducing a "comprehensive exploration" model that uncovers all mechanisms of visual working memory in one framework, built from a single large-scale controlled experiment. doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Start 2025 with some music neuroscience reading? Temporally dissociable neural representations of pitch height and chroma osf.io/preprints/ps... @candrew123 & me & @TengXB

A good read. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

What's so special about the human brain?

Torrents of data from cell atlases, brain organoids and other methods are finally delivering answers to an age-old question.
