I am pleased to announce that our systematic review and meta-analysis on musical expertise and executive functions is published in @springernature.com PB&R! Thanks Kinar, @cvonbastian.bsky.social, Emma, and Renee for the hard work and supervisions! link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Finally, our 4-year long project has been published! We have conducted a multi-lab study comparing STM of musicians and nonmusicians, collecting many other cognitive, personality, musical, and demographic variables! A big thank you to all collaborators! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Finally out! Do musicians have better short-term memory than nonmusicians? This is what we investigated in a multilab that joined together 33 research units from 15 different countries.

I presented part of the CoTraiLS project data at #ESCOP2025 @escop.bsky.social around 2 weeks ago. I’m happy to be part of this cognitive-stimulating conference with a fun and friendly environment! The joy of the conference remains to this day! #Latepost

I’m going to present at the Blitz Talk on Friday, 6pm, at #ESCOP2025 @escop.bsky.social. The very last session, yet I’m sure with a lot of excitement! Come to listen whether engaging in your hobby predict your cognitive abilities. 🧠

Sunny with a glimpse of gloomy cloud, thanks England for the warm welcome. Here for @escop.bsky.social #ESCOP2025 conference! Looking forward to meeting familiar faces, new faces, and of course listening to cognitively stimulating presentations!

If you're a native speaker of English, you might not have experienced any language barriers in your scientific career, but their negative impacts on early-career scientists nonfluent in English are big, as summarized in the figure below created by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social and colleagues. (1/10)

I finally have my own professional website! It's still under development, but let me promote this first so the world knows who I am. cbaryanto.com

I will present part of my PhD research at the Saraswati International Conference on Music Education 2024 in Yogyakarta! I’m happy that after receiving my degree a few months ago, I got a chance to become a keynote speaker.

Today is Pancasila Sanctity Day, commemorating Indonesia‘s foundational 5 principles. Also, today is my first day back at work, and I’m officially the head of the master in psychology program at Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia. Break a leg, me!

Psychonomics is one of the world's most prominent cognitive psychology communities, and I know how competitive J. Frank Yates Award is. Congratulations, Satwika, so proud of you! 💖 Indonesians rule cognitive psychology! 🇮🇩

Done with the presentation for @escom12.bsky.social #ESCOM12! So happy to share my study with fellow music researchers and have a fruitful discussion. Thanks Joy, César, and Persa for taking the lovely pics!

The 4th International Conference on Working Memory #ICWM #ICWM2024 is over, but the euphoria has not ended yet! Yesterday’s highlight: Graham Hitch and Alan Baddeley talks! Who would’ve thought I would meet the researchers I studied during my undergrad cognitive psychology class?

Find me at #ICWM #ICWM2024 in the Parkinson Building, University of Leeds. I’m presenting my poster (no 21) on musical skill, sensory discriminations, and working memory during lunch this afternoon.

#PhDone Thanks to my lovely supervisors @cvonbastian.bsky.social, Emma Blakey, and Renee Timmers for your huge support! Also thanks to my examiners @vmloaiza1.bsky.social (internal), César Lima (external), and Clare Howarth (chair) for the enjoyable viva and fruitful discussions!

I am so lucky to have this tremendous opportunity to learn from this incredible project during my PhD! It is an honour to be the research assistant.

👀 So, this happened! 😱 💃20 months and more than 500 participants recruited across 3 sites, in 3 languages, we officially completed data collection in our ORA ESRC/DFG/SSHRC processing speed training study (gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref... )!!! 🎉🥂🎉 Let the analyses begin 😍😍😍

I wonder how, I wonder why. Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky. And now, I'm in Bluesky! #YouSingYouLose
