New research by Iballa Burunat, Daniel Levitin and Petri Toiviainen reveals how our brains process musical boundaries, turning endless sound into captivating, structured experiences. (1/2)

It turns out our brains switch on unique neural pathways around musical boundaries: as a phrase ends, auditory areas gear up for the transition, and large parts of your brain shut down right after, similar to how we process sentences in language! (2/2) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

New research shows that our brains react differently when we hear beautiful music compared to nonbeautiful music. Reward and visual brain areas light up with beauty, while more basic sensory areas respond to less appealing sounds. Music truly moves us! doi.org/10.1037/aca000…

Our latest study explores how iPad vs. Music Glove technology impacts learning in elementary music education. Results show both tools boost musical knowledge📷 but the iPad offers greater improvement. doi.org/10.48293/IJMST… #MusicEducation #EdTech

New paper studies patterns of song ordering in music albums, providing a method for automatically sequencing tracks in the way that professional musicians tend to do. The paper also raises some questions about the perceptual relevance of song-sequencing. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
