I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join my lab at Sabancı University in Istanbul for a 2-year TÜBİTAK-funded position, with possible extension. Interested candidates can email me with a CV and a brief note about their research interests. More details on gunselilab.com soon.

NEW #MusicScience preprint! A #NaturalLanguageProcessing study asking: Can brief contextual cues—framing music within social/cultural situations—systematically align listeners’ thoughts during music listening? 🖼️ 💽 🎧 🧠 #MusicPsychology 🔬Read *Framed Listening* here: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New blog post by @tuomaseerola.bsky.social on why #MusicScience should seek to contextualise emotional experiences people have with #music. To capture different aspects of experiences (e.g. why music is meaningful) new #psychometric tools need to be developed... Read more: doi.org/10.31234/osf....

📣 Registration for SysMus26 is open! 🎉 Be sure to get in before the 26th of June, 2026 midnight BST. #musicpsych #conferences @sysmus.bsky.social musicscience.net/events/sysmu...

Glad to have connected with friends and met new colleagues in Cambridge this week. Great discussions about the importance of proper #psychometric validation for #musicpsych measures

Great study out from @lennietm.bsky.social showing that an individual’s goals can shape the induced emotional response to music, even the same piece of music. Music evoked emotions aren’t just stimulus driven, we also need to understand functions and goals. #MusicScience #psychsci

Extended call for papers! 🚨🔍 Apply by March 1st, 2026 for the Psychology & Music Interdisciplinary Encounters (PAM-IE) conference happening at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, from the 14-17th of October 2026. www.pam-ie2026.com #musicscience #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

Computational models for music emotion recognition (MER) have steadily improved. Our meta-analysis is now out in ACM Computing Surveys. We reviewed 34 studies comprising 290 models, distilled from a much larger initial pool. #musicscience #musicpsych #emotion #MIR

Excited to announce our article has been published! doi.org/10.1177/2059... I led a project to operationalise constructs that identify the emotional episodes people experience listening to music. #MusicScience experts assessed items against prior theory, a surprisingly under reported practice 🔭❗

📣We have a 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 in the computational analysis of gesture-vocalization interactions. The position is connected to our new project 𝘊𝘰-𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 (𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘎𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦) led by Research Professor Lara Pearson

Do you want to host SysMus in 2027? To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we want to connect early-career researchers around the globe. Any institution from around the world can join this multi-hub endeavour! Find out more at sites.google.com/view/sysmus/... #musicpsych #PsychSciSky

SysMus26—the 19th International Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology—is being held this coming year at Durham University, UK, July 22–24 (Wed–Fri), 2026! Abstract submission deadline is 30 January 2026. Check out the SysMus 26 site for further details: musicscience.net/events/sysmu...

Cool stuff coming out from PhD work done by @nashraa.bsky.social! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Fantastic display of collaboration in #musicpsych!!

Fascinating to hear @kellyjakubowski.bsky.social talk at Leeds about how music shapes imagination, covering importance of genre, age, auditory features and contextual associations with music for content of imagined thoughts when listening! Brilliant collaborative work!

Which memorisation techniques help young piano students perform their best? PhD @charasteliou.bsky.social presented at #ISPS25 in Shanghai, showing that multimodal memorisation goes beyond repetition exercises in a pedagogical intervention study. #musicscience #psychology #MusicSky #musiciansky

Great to see ECR colleagues promoted in the #musicscience community. Best of luck to @harinlee.info!

It was a pleasure to get a quick interview with Lalit while at #ICMPC18 in São Paulo. #musicscience #musicpsychology

Lab member @fruzsiszucs.bsky.social has written about her recent experience going to her first international conference at musicscience.net! #musicpsychology #earlycareerresearcher #psychology #conference #ICMPC18

🚨NEW BLOG🚨 “Conferences, huh. What’s the point?” @hazelvanderwalle.bsky.social @katiesvish.bsky.social & @kirtsconnor.bsky.social reflect on this conference season and why we bother going to conferences anyway. #musicscience #ICMPC18 #blog #phdlife #phd musicscience.net/2025/08/13/c...

Noticed a lot of new people and labs on Bluesky who attended #ICMPC18 I’ve added @co3lab.bsky.social and @smmb-lab.bsky.social to this starter pack! Share it with people who are new to bsky! Also feel free to recommend any #musicscience related labs left out. go.bsky.app/Eao5vcf

@kirtsconnor.bsky.social gave a talk at #ICMPC18 on steps researchers can take to report their #measurement decisions and what questionable practices are common for the discipline #musicscience #psychometrics

Had a blast 💥 at #ICMPC18 in São Paulo!! Super lucky for the opportunity to disseminate our research and engage with international colleagues! 🌏🌍🌎

Great to be in São Paulo to present what I’ve been working on at #ICMPC18! Go check it out doi.org/10.31234/osf... #musicscience #psychometrics #measurement

Calling student members, PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty in #musicscience 📣 Our Early Career Researchers’ Group (ECRG) is being established to provide support, networking, and mentorship across institutions and countries. Join up below!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Very grateful for this collaboration with @tuomaseerola.bsky.social and Renee Timmers, on the first empirical study examining #empathy and #synchrony in children's music-making from a bidirectional perspective. Full paper here: www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

Why do we teach music? While debates about funding for the arts are ongoing, it's worth reflecting on what music does for society. In this short piece, we discuss some of the predominant theories about the role of music education. doi.org/10.57874/nsy... #musicscience

Recently added @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social to the #musicscience labs starter pack. If there are other labs I’ve missed let me know!

Been adding #musicscience groups/labs/societies as they’ve joined bluesky. Recently added , @coe-mmbb.bsky.social @sysmus.bsky.social and @musicpsychleeds.bsky.social If there are any missing from the starter pack leave a comment!

We're living in a world where diversification is quickly being devalued. If you're asking, what can I do as a #musicscience researcher to show my commitment to diversifying research, check out our article, out today in Music & Science, identifying key gaps & promising trends: doi.org/10.1177/2059...

How WEIRD is #musicscience? Our newest publication surveyed the field of #musicpsychology to understand the diversity of participant and musical samples used by researchers. We identified key gaps and trends to follow. Find out how you can diversify #musicscience here: doi.org/10.1177/2059...
