The Biology of Musicality: What Two Decades of Cross-Species Research Reveals About Why Humans Make Music Music may not be a cultural invention layered onto a silent brain — it may be something older and stranger than that.

New research argues musicality is a biological capacity — assembled from older perceptual, motor, and emotional systems — not just a cultural product. The fossils are silent, but the comparative data aren’t. #Anthropology #HumanEvolution #MusicCognition www.anthropology.net/p/the-biolog...

I rediscovered a figure I had drawn a few years back. It was collecting digital dust in a hidden folder, so I decided to upload it to figshare.
If you ever need a figure to go along music listening and 4E, here you go:

I was curious about how sound is used in spacecraft, so I did a bit of digging and shared what I learned with my lab.

Musical expertise is associated with specific cognitive and personality traits beyond memory performance Experienced musicians tend to possess an advantage in short-term memory for musical patterns and a small advantage for visual information, according to a large-scale international study. The research...

NYAS Publications Prominent theories suggest that the urge to move along to rhythmic music is driven by precision-weighted prediction errors. We operationalized this account as a Bayesian model which outputs surprisal...

Nice new paper here providing a model of why we want to move.

Hi all! I have a theory, and I need to test it before running it in person when the kids are back from holidays.

If you have 30-60 minutes, could you please run through this experiment for me? I'm about 20 people short.

The ‘unsayable’ isn’t metaphysical; it’s neurocognitively grounded.
It’s the domain where feeling, embodiment, and prediction become meaning, without passing through symbolic language.
