  1. Gracie Abrams -- Stay

    youtu.be/LChF16vd4RM?si=X35ugp

    I was sitting in a coffee shop the other evening when the chorus of this song caught my attention.

    Struck by the singer-songwriter pathos, I noted down a couple of lines of the lyrics on a napkin so that I could identify the song later.

    Listening to "Stay" in my kitchen the next day, I found the song insubstantial and less moving than it had been when I heard it in the coffee shop.

    My differing responses made me think again of how much the setting in which we hear music can shape our response. I don't think many will disagree with that observation.

    More controversial but quite fascinating to me is the claim that our auditory perception of the music will be shaped both by non-acoustic aspects of the setting and by our beliefs and desires.

    That claim exists at the intersection of musicology, psychology, and philosophy. Discussion of "authenticity" in early music performance and the significance of the visual in Kpop have prompted my interest in this matter.

  2. The latest #preprint from my team: "Mapping the spectrotemporal regions influencing perception of French stop consonants in noise". I will tell you more about this research when it gets published, but here's a glimpse of our main finding. This colorful figure shows the acoustic cues listeners rely on to differentiate the sounds /aba/, /ada/, /aga/, /apa/, /ata/, /aka/. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20 #psychoacoustics #psycholinguistics @cognition @linguistics #phonetics #phonemes

  3. It was a long process (more than 2 years since we wrote the preregistration document) but our new study was finally published in #JASA yesterday ! The paper itself is rather technical but the central idea is worth sharing in a thread:

  5. Two upcoming workshops in #acoustics and #audition in Paris. Both free of charge (or very cheap) and both in late November:

  6. Do you have questions about sensation and perception, hearing and hearing loss, aural/oral communication disorders, or sensory aids?

    Reply to this toot and I'll answer it as best as I can. Please note I'm not a medical doctor so I can't give you specific medical advice.

  7. Our new study is about to be submitted! We demonstrate that the effect of a background noise on #SpeechPerception is multifaceted, even in the case of a simple stationary white noise. You can find the #preprint on @biorxivpreprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20), the raw and processed data on #zenodo (zenodo.org/record/7476407#.Y67), and the #preregistration document on #OSF (osf.io/4ju3f/). #psycholinguistics #psychoacoustics #psycholinguistique @psycholinguistics

  8. By way of #introduction, I'm writing a book for music lovers, about how we get our music preferences, why our preferences differ, whether we can change them... that sort of thing.

    I've also been a recording engineer, music technology specialist, magazine writer and digital designer. I sing with @TheChoir.
