I'm very excited to share my first publication with Pablo Ripollés We show that music improvisation and live accompaniment increase reward and motor response during music playing. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Interested in music/speech perception? Check our preprint! With M. Florencia Assaneo, we investigated neural tracking of natural music and speech signals across anatomical regions and frequency bands (slow/fast) using a publicly available EcoG dataset. 🧠🎻🗣️🎬 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Miksi musiikkiterapiassa käytetään improvisaatiota? Tähän vastasi upealla tavalla Anna Palumbo (laboratorion johtaja Pablo Ribollés on isyyslomalla): myönteiset tunteet, heittäytyminen, turvallisuuden ja yhteyden tunne. Improvisaatio avaa ovia ihmisten välille. #NeuroMusic8

Our collaboration with pip from San Luis Potosí University is out! Very nice work showing difficulties to whisper in noise and to keep stable the syllabic rhythmic structure in adults with Parkinson. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Colleagues at BBC Verify have analysed footage of the aftermath of the Israeli strike this morning - and have confirmed it took place within an area designated as a humanitarian zone, according to the IDF website.

Germany tried this. It is a disaster. Pushes ppl out of research. The positions they are supposed to transition into don't exist. I can't keep my research team here because of arbitrary contract limits like this. Tragic and demoralizing for all of us. #WissZeitVG #IchbinHanna

The ICJ advisory opinion means that all states are legally obligated not to provide Israel with any “military material which could be used directly or indirectly to assist Israel in maintaining its unlawful occupation of the occupied Palestinian territories”: Philippe Sands

Interested in applying computational approaches to understand developmental changes in learning? I’ll be at #CCN2024 this week and would love to talk to anyone who may be interested in joining my new BU lab next summer as a PhD student or lab manager. Please reach out!

All the more when we complain about people interrupting Harris to remind her of Gaza—which has diminished in salience as domestic politics have heated up. That’s how politics is supposed to work: you pressure candidates who might be receptive to the cause.

NEWS: After months of obstruction & delays, the American Psychological Association’s governing Council has officially called for a #CEASEFIRE.

How might musical training boost cognition? In this Perspective, M. Florencia Assaneo,Fher Lizcano-Cortés & Pablo Ripollés discuss how training in rhythmic skills might improve cognitive abilities in some individuals, but not others. #PLOSBiology plos.io/3TjXkyL

Is musical training really beneficial for cognition? Pablo Ripollés Fher Lizcano-Cortés, and I hypothesize that it enhances cognition but ONLY for certain individuals, with rhythmic abilities being a key factor. Check out our new PlosBiol Perspective! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
