This is going to be a great event, really looking forward to it.. We actually used body mapping (usually used for pain) to encourage people to explore their embodied responses to #music photovoice is a radical way to give people agency in research #neurodiversity #creativity #wellbeing #photo

Photovoice Exhibition 29th - 31st October at Trinity Business school led by Dr. Claire Howlin. ‘How Music and Arts Support Neurodiversity’ will showcase photos and stories from neurodivergent adults about how creativity helps them thrive. Join us for the LAUNCH Oct 30th @dancingresearch.bsky.social

So here I am on IrelandAM! Talking music development in babies + a new dance album by Graham Smyth made for babies and parents together -drum breaks with a pianola it was ALOT more relaxed than the breakfast show, presenters were super friendly. #music #dance #babyrave @tcdpsychology.bsky.social

Next Monday I’ll be appearing on IrelandAM to talk about music development in infants, and how to nurture their dancebility. Bit nervous to be honest but hey ho, back to school we go. #dance #music #dublin

Did a little interview today with bbc focus magazine on where the science is on the health benefits of art experiences.

Nice paper here using large language models to examine music selection by adhd people #musicscience journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

We’re at an opera in the park here in Drumcondra this evening - it’s fab (Crowd is huge we’re side stage) #dublin #summer #outdoor #opera #28degrees

It’s always sunny like this in Dublin I swear. #Summer

Here's a link to freely access my recent comment on debates in arts and health research. Yes free. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The joys of algorithms. For the first time in my life, Rod Stewart was played in my house because we asked the machine to play #Doechii. Both played in Glastonbury - but to very different audiences Music choice intervention underway. #Choice #Music #Algorithims #HumanI @sosiriux.bsky.social

We were thrilled to host Dr. Claire Howlin @dancingresearch.bsky.social in our lab last week! Her talk on music, pain, and wellbeing was truly inspiring. We are excited for future collaborations! 🎵🔬📊

Fully enjoyed #Dublin #Pride festival - a strong mix of protest and celebration. It may have rained on the parade a little, but it only made everyone cheer even louder. Big shout out to the Dublin Gay Men’s Choi 🎶 🏳️‍🌈🥳 🏳️‍⚧️✌️🇵🇸❤️🇭🇺 #DublinPride #MakePeaceNotWar #LGBTQIA #Love #DGMC #ChooseLove

We are delighted to host you and enjoying our inspiring discussions about music research! Looking forward to your talk! 🎶📊

It was such a pleasure to visit the @stresslabvienna.bsky.social this week and present a guest lecture on the cognitive mechanisms that underpin music based analgesia. 🎶🧠☺️ Such an impressive department - thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome.

Delighted to share a new comment published today in physics of life sciences providing context for recent attempts to dismiss the emerging evidence for arts-based interventions 🤓🎨🎶 @evalabs.bsky.social @rsph.bsky.social @tcdpsychology.bsky.social #psychology www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I’m @univie.ac.at on a research visit to the faculty of #psychology hosted by Anna Fekete in Urs Nater’s lab.. We’ve a busy week ahead planning some new music and pain studies focused on absorption - and turns out there’s a few other guest speakers in the department this week… 🤓 🎶 ❤️ #musicscience

Nice addition in Dublin airport. Also when you self-check your bag in Dublin they’ve a reminder not to check in your own passport. Very helpful. ✈️ 🇦🇹 👩🏻‍🏫 🎶

This week at the Music and Health Psychology Lab we were thrilled to have @bleizdelsette.bsky.social in Queen Mary University of London discuss his development of a #genAI platform to support #music selection for people with #chronicpain. #psychology #musicscience @tcdpsychology.bsky.social

Still some time to take part in an online study exploring the links between musicality and neurodivergent traits… 🧠🎶🔥 #adhd #autism #music #takepart

New research study from my music and health psychology lab - Masters student Erin Smith is looking for adults to answer her 15 minute survey about musicality and neurodivergent traits. #music #autism #adhd #skills eu.surveymonkey.com/r/XL38HFY

Tell me, does this happen in any other country - they deliver FRESH MILK by just leaving it outside on the ground?

Dr Claire Howlin joins Sean Moncrieff on NewsTalk to discuss "How art galleries can improve your health!" @dancingresearch.bsky.social www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

I’ve been invited to speak on the #Moncrieff show today about our recent paper that examines if art viewing can benefit your #health and #wellbeing. @newstalkfm.bsky.social @tcdpsychology.bsky.social #radio #BornToChat

Great to see this announcement from @researchireland.ie With this funding I've partnered with Neurodiversity Ireland to start a new project on neurodivergent experiences of #music and #arts, to encourage to people to reconsider what they think they know about #neurodiversity So far so good!

Research Ireland has announced funding for 59 projects under its New Foundations programme. These awards will support researchers in developing collaborative projects with community organisations and government departments. Read here: www.researchireland.ie/news/new-fou... #ResearchIreland

Very proud of my first years - they've managed to complete a #music and #pain experiment that shows that listening to REM's 'Everybody hurts' is not as effective as choosing their own favourite piece of music at increasing duration on the wall sit task. @tcdpsychology.bsky.social #musicscience

Proud of my little garden - a random french woman just knocked on the door to ask where we got our Lilys of the valley but they actually just came with the house and grow back every year. #flowers #LilyofTheValley #Rare #Nature

For #InternationalDanceDay, a new paper out on @cp-iscience.bsky.social entitled: “Toward a neuroaesthetics of interactions: Insights from dance on the aesthetics of individual and interacting bodies”. A big thanks to Prof. Matteo Candidi. 🧠🕺🏻👥 #neuroaesthetics #review www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Hard to believe it’s already been two years since #TEDxCremona gave me the opportunity to speak about #complexity in #neuroscience 🧠 and #dance 💃🏻 research. Truly grateful for that amazing experience! Big thanks to the wonderful Margherita Dotta and Leonardo Maietto. #TEDx #TEDxTalk

Lovely write up of our artist-in-residence @judithschaechter.bsky.social at the @pcfn.bsky.social written by @sarcher.bsky.social . Scientific inspiration made manifest in art. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/a...

I may or may not have just created a pretty sweet end of term python assignment. And by sweet I mean error free. #EndofTerm #GoodLuck 🐍 🍬 ☘️

Need a mental health boost - visit an art museum or gallery. “The authors of the review have called on healthcare providers and policy makers to integrate art into mental health strategies as a low-cost and easily-accessible resource.” #mentalhealth www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Great to see our review on art viewing was picked up by #neuroscience news. We did look at physiological and neural impacts of art viewing, but there wasn’t enough data. Maybe more neuroscientists could get involved? neurosciencenews.com/art-eudemoni... #aesthetics #wellbeing #ArtViewing

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

If you are in NYC, come on May 2- 3 @ the Center for Performance Research to watch the performance 'intero' choreographed by Spenser Stroud, performed by 3 amazing dancers and inspired by my PhD work on interoception and emotion perception. 🧠🫀🫁🩰 Info & tickets: www.cprnyc.org/events/eury-...

Nora Youn & I presented our findings on the impact of nature & music videos on aesthetic experience and physiology at the APA 10- Society for the Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts this weekend. More about the videos: aiaphiladelphia.org/news/context... @pcfn.bsky.social

When cherished beliefs and intuitions turn out to not be confirmed. Not a lot of difference in the impact of art seen in museums versus on a screen in the lab. Reasons to actually test intuitions. With @kohinoordarda.bsky.social and others. 🧪 #sciart www.nature.com/articles/s41...
