For our latest blog entry, @j-w-cannon.bsky.social reports on our PGRs' experiences of the recent #SysMus25 conference in Oslo! Exceptional conference for students and early career researchers to connect, share insights, and develop impactful collaborations: music-psych.leeds.ac.uk/2025/07/03/o...
Had a wonderful time attending #SysMus25 in Oslo this week. Met some great people, saw a lot of interesting talks, and did some truly terrible dancing (despite the very good lessons). Thanks to the organising team and everyone involved for hosting us! 💃🎶
Just got back from #SysMus25 in Oslo - what an amazing, memorable conference! Always makes me feel very privileged to be part of such an inspiring international community of music science/musicology researchers. Big thanks to everyone involved in hosting at @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social !!

Some pics my dear colleague Heini Siltainsuu took of my presentation. I talked about ongoing qualitative research project called "Spooky tunes for the youth: Finnish adolescents' experiences of scary music"

A fascinating look at how music shapes the mind by @hazelvanderwalle.bsky.social #sysmus25
Wonderful research by @spooky-kat.bsky.social at #sysmus25 on 'Adolescent Experiences of Scary Music'. One of the fascinating experiential juxtapositions generated by music. 👻
Personal fav of the stimuli: Korn - Dead Bodies Everywhere
Building a taxonomy of childrens' musical experiences (embodied - detached). Novel data collection and novel insights by @carocaronet.bsky.social at #SysMus25

Final keynote of #SysMus25 @sysmus.bsky.social by Prof. Bruno Laeng @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social! Using pupillometry to peer into the emotional impact of “chilling” music, he found endogenous opioids may reduce intensity of musical pleasure

More important work from #SysMus25. @nashraa.bsky.social exploring the role of cultural familiarity and learning in the experience of isochronous & non-isochronous beats.
A very interesting talk by Tristan Eissing @ #SysMus25 exploring the under-explored area of negative impacts of music - "How Music Can Jeopardise the abstinence of Individuals with Substance Use Disorder."
Prof. Anja Volk presenting at sysmus25
A wonderful keynote by Prof. Anna Volk from @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social to kick off the second day of #sysmus25! Her research, blending computer science, gamification, and musicology, highlights the interdisciplinary nature of #musicscience.
