SCORE | Center for Open Science SCORE shows that there is no shortcut to producing credible research findings, and there is no single indicator of trustworthiness. Research progress depends on transparency, rigor, and establishing r...

SCORE, a collaboration of 865 researchers, is now released as three papers in Nature, six preprints, and a lot of data (cos.io/score/). SCORE examined repeatability of findings from the social-behavioral sciences and tested whether human and automated methods could predict replicability.

Half of social-science studies fail replication test in years-long project Results from massive, ‘eagerly awaited’ initiative reinforce concerns about the credibility of science — but raise hope for solutions.

A massive seven-year project exploring 3,900 social-science papers has ended with a disturbing finding

Eye blinks synchronize with musical beats during music listening Human movements are known to synchronize with rhythmic patterns in music. This study expands our understanding of embodied music perception, by revealing that spontaneous eye blinks also align with mu...

My colleague, friend, former PhD/postdoc @xiangbin-teng.bsky.social and his colleagues argue for (yet) another interesting attribute of music listening.

How it turned out @ APCAM AND Psychonomics. My trainees did a great job presenting about misophonia and music, Dylan and Isabella pictured. Rose and David did great too! My own poster had the wrong degrees of freedom so clearly I’m not setting the best example 🙃

Sorry to miss it! I'll be at the in person Psychonomics conference.

That's ridiculous! Do you mind sharing which journal so I can avoid it?

Pleased to advertise that the auditory labs from UNLV will have presentations from post-bacc, grad student, post-doc, and faculty researchers @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social and the APCAM auditory conference in Denver in a few weeks. Please see the image for details on our presentations.

whoops, didn't meant to make that double negative, I think you know what I mean lol

I totally agree. I'm thankful to not be in a dept that doesn't follow fads. We would love to have a good computational modeling person, but it's been hard to find such a person we wanted to hire.

Application deadline November 28th, 2025. Open to PhD Students and post-doctoral fellows. Apply here: redcap.link/HPPIJE26
