Research on how human brains perceive music has traditionally only focused on Western music and the people who listen to it. But researchers are gradually realizing that this needs to change and that ...

Multisensory perception in food and music represents a burgeoning interdisciplinary field where sensory inputs are integrated to enrich both culinary and auditory experiences. In the context of ...

The Society for Music Perception and Cognition held its first in-person meeting in three years in Portland, Oregon, on August 4 through 7. Here are a few of the most intriguing findings I learned at ...

In a recent article published in PLOS Biology, researchers reconstructed a piece of music from neural recordings using computer modeling as they investigated the spatial neural dynamics underpinning ...

The human brain appears biased toward hearing and producing rhythms with simple integer ratios, but the favored ratios can vary greatly between different societies, according to a 15-country study.

This article was originally featured in MIT Press. In 2009, my research group found that newborns possess the ability to discern a regular pulse–the beat–in music. It’s a skill that might seem trivial ...

In 2009, my research group in Amsterdam, in collaboration with colleagues at the HUN-REN Research Center in Hungary, found that newborns possess the ability to discern a regular pulse — the beat — in ...
