Huge congratulations to Guilherme Câmara, who has received funding from the Research Council of Norway for his project “GROOVE: Mapping, Modeling, and Perceiving the Combinatorics of Groove-Based Rhythms”! 🥳 Read about it here (Norwegian): www.hf.uio.no/om/aktuelt/a...

📣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

Just published, the co-structuring of gesture-vocal dynamics in vocal performance, with @wimpouw.bsky.social and Thomas Nuttall. Which dimensions of hand and head gestures co-structure with which vocal modalities, and how does this differ across individuals? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The concert "Quantum Loops, Broken Symmetries" is now at 18:00 CET, which will be streamed on YouTube from Salen, ZEB, UiO. The program includes explorations into violins, self-playing pianos, AI and quantum computing with Eduardo Reck Miranda and Victoria Johnson. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Panr...

Fadi al-Ghawanmeh will publicly defend his dissertation "Ṭarab and AI: Maqām Music Generation through Machine Translation and Motion Capture" on Thursday September 25. The defence is streamed on Zoom, link will be available on this website.

Have you tried to just... listen? PhD candidate Maham Riaz writes about listening to our surroundings in our latest blog post!

Thursday, 11 September, we are excited about hosting a workshop with two renowned international artists, Kristin Norderval and Nick Wishart. Through hands-on sessions with EVII and Round Sounds, participants get to experience body-based music control and discuss the future of musicking technologies.

If you’re curious about how one of the world’s greatest musicians reflects on gender dynamics in classical music, the importance of mentorship, physical and mental resilience, and her personal philosophy for wellbeing, you can read the full interview with Mrs. Anne-Sophie Mutter here:

Welcome to a workshop on the wellbeing of women music performers! Today at 13:00 CEST. Read more about it and find the YouTube stream here: www.uio.no/ritmo/englis...

🤔How does the human brain predict unexpected sounds? Our new study shows that the prefrontal cortex doesn’t work as a single unit. Instead, the orbitofrontal and lateral prefrontal cortex make distinct, time-sensitive contributions. #iEEG #BrainLesion #OFC #LPFC doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Heidi's disputation starts in about 45 minutes, 10:15 CEST! www.uio.no/ritmo/englis...

Are you strongly moved by music?🥹🎶 Then you might also be open, compassionate, and sensitive!🤗 Read about RITMO PhD fellow Heidi's research: www.uio.no/ritmo/englis...

ADHD in adults manifests differently than in children. A new test that reveals the extent of mind wandering may contribute to more accurate diagnoses. Researchers from RITMO and The Helgeland Hospital Trust have examined if a test of mind wandering can be incorporated as part of diagnostic tools.🧠🔍

Heidi Hansen will publicly defend her dissertation "Musical sensibility and motivations for music use: A twin study of the underlying structure, personality correlates, and genetic and environmental underpinnings" on Friday August 29. The defence is also streamed on YouTube.

Remember when we had a whole workshop on ventilation sound? What if we told you there's even a #VentHackz video, exploring the musicality of ventilation systems as well?🤯

Last day of #SysMus25! It's been a pleasure hosting you all 🫶 @sysmus.bsky.social

Final keynote of #SysMus25 @sysmus.bsky.social by Prof. Bruno Laeng @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social! Using pupillometry to peer into the emotional impact of “chilling” music, he found endogenous opioids may reduce intensity of musical pleasure #musicscience #cogsci #psychology

Check out our new mini review on making robotic dance expressive & responsive! 🕺🕺🕺🤖🤖🤖 Expressiveness: conveying thoughts & feelings through varied, flexible movements. Responsiveness: reacting to stimuli in real-time. With @benediwa.bsky.social and Alex Szorkovszky @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social

1/ Excited to share our new paper just out in Scientific Reports! 🧠🎧 Using intracranial EEG, we show how the human brain automatically encodes patterns in random sounds– without attention or explicit awareness. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Tomorrow and saturday (from 9.30 both days): Symposium on the platformization of music production at UiO. Program and live-stream available here: www.hf.uio.no/imv/english/... #musicproduction #musicology #musictech #platforms

Ever wonder how your brain predicts the next beat in music? What happens if the rhythm is aperiodic?🤔 RITMO doctoral fellow Sandra Solli is studying the neural mechanisms underlying auditory temporal prediction and rhythm perception by combining EEG and behavioral experiments🧠🎶

Who is headed to the SEMPRE conference this week? Some great presentations by our lab members and other #musicscience researchers happening this week! sempre.org.uk/conference/s...

Professor Janeen Loehr will give a talk at RITMO Seminar Series later today (13:15 CEST)!🎶 Available on YouTube as well🥳

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