Are you interested in what to do with all that movement data you often get in your neuroscience measures? Is it just noise, or how can we make use of it? This December, we are organizing a workshop in Lübeck to discuss precisely these questions. (1/2)

💃🧠 Psyched to share my latest paper in Neuron on the past, present and future of dance neuroscience research! Crazy to think where this field will be in 20 more years 🚀 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kkh3_KOmx... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #Dance #CognitiveNeuroscience #Neuroaesthetics #BrainScience

1/ Thrilled to start on Bluesky with our latest publication in Nature Neuroscience (@natneuro.nature.com) – and huge congratulations to RoryBufacchi who led this work (first at @ucl.ac.uk and then @iitalk.bsky.social) with extraordinary insight and fastidiousness. Free full text: rdcu.be/eo3G3

One of my proudest works—especially thinking back to neuroscience classes 10–20 years ago, when we were taught that measuring EEG during naturalistic behavior wasn’t feasible. Hopefully, this helps make it less of a taboo.

Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶 While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨 A postdoc position is available at my lab (npa.iit.it) in Rome! Join us to explore: 🎵 Neural bases of musicality (humans, infants, macaques) 💃🕺 Dance & joint music-making 🤝 Spontaneous social behavior ⬇️ Apply through the link below! ⬇️

Honoured and grateful to have received a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out my LEARNINSYNC project! Together wih @giacomonovembre.bsky.social at the IIT (Rome) we will look at LEARNing IN social interaction and the role of inter-brain SYNChrony. #MSCA #EuropeanCommission #Horizon

Here it is our new preprint on neural encoding of musical expectations in newborns! in collaboration with B. Toth & I. Winkler's hungrain team and @giacomonovembre.bsky.social 's NPAlab check it out 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #musicscience #Neuroscience #MusicCognition #Neurodevelopment

🚨New Preprint! 🎵🧠 Joint music listening enhances interpersonal affective and neural synchrony. A huge fNIRS hyperscanning study on shared music listening & pleasure with @federicocurzel.bsky.social , @giacomonovembre.bsky.social, Barbara Tillmann and Arnaud Fournel. 👉 osf.io/preprints/os...

🎶 Everything you ever wanted to know about Joint Music Making—but were afraid to ask! 🎶 A comprehensive review by Sara Abalde, @neuromusicnerd.bsky.social , @perikeller.bsky.social rikeller.bsky.social & me, bridging behavioural findings, neural processes, and computational models (link below).

How well can video-based methods estimate body kinematics? In my recent paper with @giacomonovembre.bsky.social, we show that accuracy of one such method (OpenPose) varied substantially across subjects & body parts. Interestingly, this accuracy strongly depended on the movement amplitude. t.ly/4Tlnc
