🎉 So happy @opensciencenl.bsky.social funded our replication study: do children's cognitive abilities benefit from music lessons 🎶? Needless to say: we will also look at possible social/emotional benefits of arts education. Looking forward to diving into this with Marieke Bos @unileiden.bsky.social

Paper out with Atser Damsma, Tom Kaplan, Mohsen Ghorashi, & Marcus Pearce! How do listeners represent rhythmic patterns? Our probabilistic modelling 🎶 says using abstract, imprecise representations, like ratio and contour: "long, a bit shorter, shortish"! Paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Paper out with Atser Damsma, Mitchell de Roo, @kbdoelling.bsky.social & Pilou Bazin! Neural synchronisation 🧠 to the beat 🥁 shifts with tempo. We can model this shift with entrainment & evoked models! Do evoked responses explain more than we thought? 💃 Paper: doi.org/10.1093/cerc...

Komende maandag, 13:00, Den Haag!

Nieuwe nationale oproep van WOinActie aan iedereen die om het hoger onderwijs geeft om ons te steunen in onze strijd voor het behoud van de Nederlandse universiteiten. Demonstratie: 25 november, 13:00, Malieveld, Den Haag. woinactie.blogspot.com/2024/11/steu...

I wrote an op-ed in one of the main Dutch newspapers today, highlighting that the 1 billion budget cuts to Higher eduction can only be explained as a way to make our universities more submissive. The piece has now been translated into English, and can be read here: crookedtimber.org/2024/11/09/t...

Hi Bluesky 👋, have not been around for long yet, but happy to be here, and happy to share a new preprint! Wt Henkjan Honing and Gábor Háden, an update on how to probe beat perception using ERPs in human adults, newborns, and nonhuman primates osf.io/preprints/ps.... #neuroskyence #musicscience

#TRFpaper out in February by Gábor Háden, @fleurbouwer.bsky.social, Henkjan Honing, & István Winkler about beat processing in early infancy 🧠👶🥁 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...
