'A huge man is bursting out of a rock' - new #musicscience study led by M. Antović shows that listeners' associations and imagery with music is full of creative references to moving bodies which share underlying embodied, image-schematic structures. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #mentalimagery

Our new #musicscience study, led by Sarah Hashim, shows that aphantasics experience music less emotionally and with fewer episodic memories compared to controls. Other aspects such as liking, musical reward and musical sophistication are unaffected. Full paper: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
