New paper with Eline Van Geert selected for oral presentation in #CogSci2024 ! We used Gibbs Sampling with People to characterize aesthetic evaluations of complex visual displays. We found a complex relation between stimulus features and semantics. More in the thread below...

I am super excited about this insightful spotlight paper by Erin Hannon (Erin Hannon) & Joel Snyder in Trends in Cognitive Sciences! They are reviewing our work in Nature Human Behaviour with Josh McDermott Computational Auditory Perception Group and 34 other collaborators ( x.com/norijacoby/sta…).

I am a very excited to share another joint project with
(Computational Auditory Perception Group), Josh Peterson, and Tom Griffiths (@cocosci_lab) spearheaded by Raja Marjieh.
The paper was selected as the Editor’s Choice article for the March issue of Journal of Experimental Psychology: General!!
Get into the groove!🎶😉 Study of people in 15 countries suggests the human #brain has a universal tendency to lean towards simple rhythms, but that biases can vary widely across different cultures🎶shorturl.at/nrEP5 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics Computational Auditory Perception Group Nori Jacoby Josh McDermott
Music is present in every known society but varies from place to place. A study in Nature Human Behaviour finds that properties of rhythm representations are common across cultures, while variation from place to place related to local musical traditions exists. go.nature.com/43bDaut
Do you have a sense for rhythm? Most people enthusiastically state that they do not. Weird or WEIRD? See youtu.be/hnBZIERB8dM

👏 Congrats to this fantastic collab-work with 34 co-authors, incl. Nori Jacoby, Josh McDermott, and many more. The team researched #musicalperception by examining preferred #beat patterns across various nations and #cultural backgrounds. Out now in Nature Human Behaviour!
Nice news story about our recent paper Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics Max Planck Society Computational Auditory Perception Group
Here are some of my thoughts on why Nori Jacoby et al.'s paper is so important and impressive (from this preprint from my forthcoming book: osf.io/preprints/psya…)
