Heads up: what appears to be a scam/predatory academic organisation calling itself the International Institute of Music Science and Arts is setting up. Myself and other real scholars were emailed and told we were "appointed" as Fellows, but as far as I can tell...

Huge congratulations to our brilliant @musicpsychshef.bsky.social colleague Nikki Dibben for her election to a British Academy fellowship. Very well-deserved recognition for her diverse and impressive work in music cognition, popular music, and music and AI. Looking forward to celebrations!!

Happy to share that 4 papers have gone "first view" in the Journal of the Royal Musical Association! They form a themed round table: "Audiency beyond the Concert Hall: Theory and Ethnographic Case Studies" — a long-term collab with Lara Pearson (Cologne) & Sam Horlor (Durham).

Glad to have connected with friends and met new colleagues in Cambridge this week. Great discussions about the importance of proper #psychometric validation for #musicpsych measures

Music Psychology Lab - Durham@musicpsychologylab.bsky.social · 4mo ago

@kirtsconnor.bsky.social presented a poster on his ongoing psychometric scale development to describe emotional episodes with music #musicpsych #SEMPRE

Great study out from @lennietm.bsky.social showing that an individual’s goals can shape the induced emotional response to music, even the same piece of music. Music evoked emotions aren’t just stimulus driven, we also need to understand functions and goals. #MusicScience #psychsci

Lennie (Thomas M.)@lennietm.bsky.social · 6mo ago

🎧 Why does the same song make you feel different things at different times? My new paper shows it’s not just the music — it’s your goals. 👉 Do our goals shape the emotions music evokes? 🎥 2-minute visual abstract below. doi: doi.org/10.1177/1029...

Computational models for music emotion recognition (MER) have steadily improved. Our meta-analysis is now out in ACM Computing Surveys. We reviewed 34 studies comprising 290 models, distilled from a much larger initial pool. #musicscience #musicpsych #emotion #MIR

Excited to announce our article has been published! doi.org/10.1177/2059... I led a project to operationalise constructs that identify the emotional episodes people experience listening to music. #MusicScience experts assessed items against prior theory, a surprisingly under reported practice 🔭❗

💡 Key findings: - Indian non-musicians and Western musicians recognized the shorter rhythms after exposure, while Western non-musicians showed no learning for any of the rhythmic patterns.

Fantastic display of collaboration in #musicpsych!!

Massimo Grassi@masssimo006.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Finally out! Do musicians have better short-term memory than nonmusicians? This is what we investigated in a multilab that joined together 33 research units from 15 different countries.

Fascinating to hear @kellyjakubowski.bsky.social talk at Leeds about how music shapes imagination, covering importance of genre, age, auditory features and contextual associations with music for content of imagined thoughts when listening! Brilliant collaborative work!

Which memorisation techniques help young piano students perform their best? PhD @charasteliou.bsky.social presented at #ISPS25 in Shanghai, showing that multimodal memorisation goes beyond repetition exercises in a pedagogical intervention study. #musicscience #psychology #MusicSky #musiciansky
