Research

Our research is highly interdisciplinary, combining theoretical and experimental insights from psychology, neuroscience, computer science, musicology, music therapy, and education. 

Current projects

Music Cognition Research on Memory

Music and Autobiographical Memories

We use psychology, neuroscience and computing to address questions about the relationship between music and autobiographical memory.

Psychology of Music, Aesthetics, and Creativity

The Psychology of Music Appreciation

We study the psychological basis of music appreciation by combining behavioural, physiological, and neuroimaging methods. 

Cognitive Neuroscience of Music Performance

Music Performance

We combine neuroscientific and performance data with computational modelling to understand the behavioural, cognitive, and neurobiological processes underlying music performance anxiety.

Music Cognition Research on Big Data

Music and Big Data

We study global patterns of musical behaviour in real-time by analysing big data from music platforms (e.g., Shazam, YouTube) with machine learning and computational techniques.

Music Cognition Research in Cultural Evolution of Music and the Arts

Cultural Evolution of Music 

We simulate the cultural evolution of music by running cultural transmission experiments in musical and creative modalities, such as singing or tapping.

Cognition Music Research using Large-Scale Online Experiments

Large-Scale Behavioural Experiments

We combine online data collection techniques with innovative psychological paradigms  to scale up psychological research in music and aesthetics. 

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience of Music

The Psychology of Music Development

We study how children learn to understand musical expression, focusing on embodied representations of music and cross-modal processing of emotion cues in music, movement, and stories.
