Does anyone have any boring music for music for experiments?

Hi Stephanie and welcome. We have a starter pack of #musicscience people to follow:

go.bsky.app/4oZbDpj

I just added you.

There is also a #musicpsych and a #musicscience feed collecting music cognition and related keywords.

feel free to follow folks and spread the word!

Ok, I've just made a new musicscience feed (named just like this, with no hashtag) collecting all the #musicscience and related tags ( #musicskyence, #musicpsych #musicneuroscience, #musiccognition, #musicology etc...).

I used SkyFeed (a bluesky client). Customizable. Added to starter pack.

Oh, I didn't know #musicpsych I will put it in starter pack. Wouldn't mind having the customizable #musicskyence version too.
