This summer, I will lead a symposium at ICMPC13 in Seoul, South Korea, entitled ‘Musical movement: Effects of cueing and feedback’. The symposium will include Marc Thompson, Nicolas Farrugia and Floris van Vugt as speakers and Prof. Peter Keller as a discussant. I will also present my fMRI work at Neuromusic V in Dijon, France.
The website for the Scottish Music & Health Network, led by Raymond MacDonald with a grant we obtained from the Carnegie Trust is now live!
I have moved: I am now a Junior Research Fellow at the SAGE Center at UC Santa Barbara. Check out our amazing schedule of visiting researchers and lectures!
I will be giving one of the key note talks at the Embodied Music Cognition conference in Edinburgh in July, entitled ‘Mental representations in musical processing and their role in action-perception loops’.
Our commentary on Andy Clark’s paper ‘Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science’, co-authored with Katie Overy and Peter Nelson is now available online from Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
Our paper on tensor decomposition, entitled ‘Shared processing of perception and imagery of music in decomposed EEG’ was accepted for publication at NeuroImage, co-authored with Jason Farquhar and Peter Desain. This work will also be presented at the International BCI meeting at Asilomar this summer.
A position paper entitled ‘Probing neural mechanisms of music perception, cognition, and performance using multivariate decoding’ based on our ICMPC 12 symposium has been accepted for publication in Psychomusicology , co-authored with Shinichi Furuya, Leigh Smith, Blair Bohannan Kaneshiro and Petri Toiviainen.
