We've reached the end of #ICMPC2025 #ICMPC18!
A jam-packed week of #MusicScience research.
#ICMPC2025 keynote 5: Andrea Schiavio, Reclaiming the human element: Musical experience through the lens of 4E cognitive science
the musical mind = a cognitive ecosystem, which celebrates the human element (a full body experience that is relational and interdependent on environments)
#MusicScience
in the personalised music-based interventions for neurocog and mental health disorders
really cool studies (and results) shared. with discussion points around refinement in personalisation + consideration of behaviour and brain ftn + set/setting influencing efficacy
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Jose Domingos de Gois Jr, Echoes of culture and tradition: Exploring musical autodidactism in Sao Paulos’ samba community
assessing the role of autodidactism in the contexts of samba schools -- to understand the skills necessary to perform well in a bateria
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Massimo Grassi, Do musicians have better short-term memory than nonmusicians?
Multilab study shows musos are different from non-musos.
+ shows small effects can be reliably detected.
+ multilab benefits> diverse, globally rep. samples w/ research work distributed
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience #ICMPC18
Ann-Kristin Herget, Just dance, gonna be okay? Music-conveyed gender stereotypes in TikTok dance challenges
found gender stereotypes not only in lyrics but also the sound
tiktok users don't just consume content, they're preforming/reproducing gender norms
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience #ICMPC18
Will Randall, The suitability of music for different activities during everyday listening: An experience sampling study
finding separate clusters of suitable music within each everyday listening activity. these are tied to emotions (valence, arousal) + spotify features
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Joshua Schlichting, How social justice advocacy through music performance influences audiences’ charitable attitudes and behaviours
advocacy music can promote closeness, empathy & awareness.
empathy drives intention to support charity.
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience #ICMPC18
Fascinating talk from @kirtsconnor.bsky.social at #ICMPC2025 highlighting the importance of using validated constructs in music emotion studies, with some instructive questions when starting a project. #musicscience
New music dataset are always important contributions to #musicscience research:
"Creating an open‑access music audio dataset for deep phenotyping of subjective experience of musical emotions" -- by @seunggookim.bsky.social #icmpc2025
Mary Broughton, A conceptual framework for social health and wellbeing in community: Folk performing arts groups in the context of covid-19
folk music + dance groups provide socio-cultural activities, structures, & opps to build community and multi-faceted social WB
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Andrew Goldman, The contingency of music cognition
Argues for the importance of multiple forms of inquiry that describe musical practice and for considering contingency to clarify overly-universalist claims
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Emily Gernandt, Dimensions of musical taste: Psychological, sociological, and music-analytical perspectives
an interdisciplinary approach to musical taste is impt (drawing on development, ftns, context, judgments, dislikes) AND need to consider style-specific perspectives
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Maren Hochgesand, Sitting v standing: Comparing a seated and unseated concert in terms of aesthetic and social audience experience
re big band concert, standing did not effect the evaluation of the concert but did influence attention, depth of processing + solidarity (+)
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
#ICMPC2025 keynote 4: Daniela Sammler, Solo and duet: Neural bases of music production
Which cog. processes + neural structures enable us to produce music, alone and in groups?
Coordinating brains + bodies = elements of structure, movement, and social interaction overlapping to sound
#MusicScience
Im having a delightful time here at #ICMPC2025 hearing about all the research in our field! So grateful to those who attended my talk!
Jonathan Tang, Emotional experiences with favourite music: the role of self-construal across cultures
differing associations between interdependent and independent self-construal, so specifying cultural variables beyond sociodemo factors is important for research
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience #ICMPC18
Niels Chr. Hansen, Specialised music-aided coping behaviour during five distinct types of crises
in all crises, music listening increased, was helpful, and had positive mood effects. but there are differences in use/benefit by crisis type
#ICMPC2025 #ICMPC18 #MusicScience
Taiki Shimozono, Understanding the structure of ‘liveness’ and its value variations through large-scale affective evaluation
found a multi-layered model of liveness. value layer (intensity, stage presence) and impression layer (sound, visual, audience)
#ICMPC2025 #ICMPC18 #MusicScience
Enjoying some great live Japanese rock music with Taiki Shimozono #icmpc2025
if you're at #ICMPC2025, join us in gathertown for the poster session happening now.
we're chatting #MusicScience playlists and format use at posters 13 and 14.

Anastasios Mavrolampados, Introducing the short musical affect recognition test (SMART)
as a quick assesement of musical ERA in 5min, this test has shown robust mechanics and is suitable for diverse groups
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Pietro Modestini, Concert streaming: Mediatizing live experiences
how does 'liveness' differ between in-person and publicly streamed concerts? interesting interplay of situational elements, audience-performer connection, and how distinct the event is from daily life
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Caroline Curwen, Seeing sound, shaping stories: The role of ideasthesia and event segmentation in musically evoked narratives
Asking the Q, does synaesthesia magnify the ways we all naturally build stories from music?
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Kelsie Lopez, Music-driven stress regulation depends on developmental timing of music exposure: an fMRI study
different pattern of activation in nucleus accumbens when listening to music following a stressor
+differently affected by developmental timing of music exposure
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Alessandro Ansani @coe-mmbb.bsky.social, Development and validation of the individual and social MUSic Listening scale (IS-MUSLI)
re other measures, this one targets preferences for ind./social listening.
brief vrsn (9items) shows good properties/validity (links to ftns)
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Johanna Wilson @coe-mmbb.bsky.social, Capturing the moment with music: An interview and digital ethnography study
digital ethno w. photo elicitation (and interviews). coding of photos raises ?s of the functions/uses/value of music in everyday life. Lots of data & cool Qs.
#ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
keynote 3: Marcelo Wanderley, Designing new interfaces for musical expression: opportunities and challenges
designing new interfaces for musical expression is the confluence of music, science & technology
>beyond interdisciplinary, this work is inter-sectoriality
#ICMPC2025 #ICMPC18 #MusicScience
a nice symposium by Mayron Piccolo and team -- discussing their work investigating communality and sense of belonging through music
focusing in on baseball fans and preschoolers!
#ICMPC2025 #ICMPC18 #MusicScience
🌍🎶 How universal is music?
Challenging assumptions about the perception of music cross-culturally.
A great talk by @norijacoby.bsky.social at #icmpc2025
