📢 Open positions at @CoE_MMBB — the Centre of Excellence in Music, Mind, Body & Brain in Finland!
We are recruiting 5-9 postdoc and 2-6 doctoral researchers to join our large, international research community
Postdocs: bit.ly/4gADdbx
Doctoral: bit.ly/4g10xPz
Just to note that I prefer to have my social media discussions at the other side, where the sky is blue and tone is civil and professional. You can find me by following #musicscience tag or firstnamelastname[dot]bsky[dot]social
I'm proud to announce a new textbook for #musicscience out, titled Music and Science: A Guide to Empirical Music Research. It covers methods in music psychology to open research & computational analysis, see doi.org/10.4324/978100329380… R & Python code at tuomaseerola.github.io/emr/
Model offers predictions to guide empirical research on music’s emotional impact. This constructionist perspective provides ways to focus music and emotion research, supporting both applied directions & more personalised explanations of these experiences 4/5
Next we (Connor Kirts & @suvisaarikallio & @tuomas_ee) are developing tools to offer the community ways to evaluate the model predictions. The theory is out today #OpenAccess at @PsyofMus. See doi.org/10.1177/030573562412… 5/5 #musicscience #emotion #theory
New theory out! What do you get when you mix music and emotion regulation literature with the functions of music and explanations of music-induced emotions? You get a new theory called the 'Episode Model of Emotional Experiences of Music' 1/5
This framework places the functions and situations of music listening at the centre & identifies 5 unique emotional episodes: 1) Enjoyment–Distraction–Relaxation, 2) Connection–Belonging, 3) Focus–Motivation, 4) Personal Emotional Processing, and 5) Aesthetic–Interest–Awe 2/5
I made a 1-minute YouTube video of how to create an index to a book with keywords, page proofs and python scripting.

Another incredible @CulturalEvolSoc conference! Had such a fun time DJing with @evogom 🐦 Massive thank you to the organizers for putting together such an engaging and inclusive conference, especially @sheinalew for the invite 🫶 Can't wait for #CES2026!

Dr Schutz during his keynote at the Society for Music Perception and Cognition conference in Banff. He discussed several of our projects, as well as ongoing collaborations with @DrJazz615, @tuomas_ee! @socmusicperccog @musicandthemind @mcmasterhum
Perks of music science: phenomenal keynotes are accompanied with expert musical performances. Still recovering from #SMPC2024 and @michaelschutz ‘s inspiring keynote!
📢 New paper in Memory & Cognition!📢
Musical pieces that have incongruent emotion cues (mode & timbre) are better remembered than congruent ones; consistent with desirable difficulty. Nice collab with Andrea Halpern from Bucknell University rdcu.be/dPRDn

A really important talk on the importance of sharing data and analysis scripts in #musicscience.
More needs to be done and faster advancements in the field will follow.
@tuomas_ee @ #escom12
Final #escom12 keynote given by Bruno Mesz who took us on a whirlwind tour of #crossmodal interactions with music. So many mappings (#smell, #shape, #colour, #taste) make sense with music but the level of explanation is not always easy to define #musicscience
Wonderful big data take on tempo and age by @Geoff_Luck & Alessandro Ansani that show a hockey stick function of performed tempo across age that matches the changes in spontaneous motor tempo across life-span #musicscience #escom12
Engaging summary of chills while performing music by @s_bannister2113 & Emily Payne at #escom12: They highlight the many ways performers occasionally experience chills (feeling accomplishment, immersion, connecting with audience, togetherness,..). What a great topic #musicscience

Successful Day 2 at @escom_12 yesterday! Our lab members @NashraAhmad_, Hazel, and PI @kj_jakubowski delivered outstanding presentation and posters. Our former lab member and master's student @aliyah_sarah_r also presented her poster.
