New paper from the METRE lab! Interested in modeling our sense of rhythm? Confused by apparently conflicting pictures of "networks of oscillators" and "predictive processing"? Quick thread below! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

One of my most important studies is finally published: the pain-reducing effects of music are stronger when we tap along in sync with the music. Everyone can use this effect, in clinical & non-clinical settings, to reduce pain, anxiety, and worries. journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

Sensorimotor synchronization to music reduces pain

Pain-reducing effects of music listening are well-established, but the effects are small and their clinical relevance questionable. Recent theoretical advances, however, have proposed that synchron...

Cameron Anderson is a PhD student @MAPLE_Lab. Cam’s interdisciplinary research has focused on how composers’ musical choices shape listeners’ perceptions of conveyed emotion. He has also worked on how musical considerations can improve auditory alarms in medical environments.
