Prof. Jane Ginsborg opens the 2025 International Symposium of Performance Science in Shanghai with her keybote, sharing extremely valuable findings on performance science during challenging times including the COVID 19 pandemic. #ISPS25 #musicscience

The final keynote for #ICMPC18 was from Dr. Andrea Schiavio @yorkmusicpsych.bsky.social! He discussed 4E cognitive approaches for #musicscience and #musiceducation!

#icmpc18 KEYNOTE: Prof. Daniela Sammler shares her extremely interesting research on the neural bases of music production, including fascinating comparisons between classical and jazz pianists to musical uncertainties. #musicscience

#icmpc18 more excellent research coming from @smmb-lab.bsky.social. Ade Fathiawati shares her findings on psychological and pharmacological strategies to mitigate performance anxiety among students.

At #ICMPC18, Gerard Breaden Madden shares some pretty convincing evidence why it is important to regularly clean your musical instruments...I'm probably going to have nightmares about the slide showing bacteria colonies grown from woodwind reeds... #musicscience

Dr. Steffen Herff from @smmb-lab.bsky.social shares very rich findings at #icmpc18 about expertise-related muscle activation in drummers. This work has important implications for biofeedback interventions to help musicians develop their skills and avoid playing-related injury. #musicscience
