A recent North Carolina State University study demonstrates that both the visual stimuli of natural landscapes and the auditory stimuli of birdsong are associated with significant reductions in human psychological stress compared to urban environments.

New #openaccess article published in Trends in hearing! "Probing the Underlying Mechanisms of Spectro-Temporal Modulation Discrimination". Can you discriminate a rising frequency sweep from a downward one, in the presence of a background noise? Using reverse correlation, we investigated listeners’ sensitivity to specific frequency sweeps and the auditory mechanisms involved. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23312165261465060
Huge thanks to Lily Paulick for transforming a very complex set of data into a clear and rigorous paper!

Music often appears to arise from intuition. Composers and producers describe the creative process as following a feeling for harmony, rhythm, texture, and timing. Yet listeners often respond to certain musical gestures in strikingly similar ways. A harmonic shift intensifies tension. A rhythmic change alters perceived movement. A melodic peak can create a moment of release.
These recurring reactions suggest that musical emotion does not arise from artistic intention alone. It also reflects how the human brain processes sound. Research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology shows that musical perception involves several interacting neural systems: auditory analysis in the cortex, emotional processing in limbic structures, motor synchronization with rhythm, and reward responses connected to expectation and resolution.
For composers, this perspective raises an interesting question. If specific musical structures engage attention, anticipation, and pleasure in consistent ways, how can this knowledge inform composition without turning music into a formula? Scientific understanding does not replace intuition. It clarifies why intuitive musical decisions often work and why certain musical forms reliably move listeners.
My new essay examines this intersection between artistic practice and neuroscience. It discusses how harmony, rhythm, melodic contour, and sonic texture interact with perception, memory, and emotional processing in the brain, and what this relationship means for the act of composing.
Here is the full essay:

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/. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.25.600732v1 #psychoacoustics #psycholinguistics @cognition @linguistics #phonetics #phonemes

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:

Two upcoming workshops in #acoustics and #audition in Paris. Both free of charge (or very cheap) and both in late November:
- Auditory Development Workshop organized by Axelle Calcus and Laurianne Cabrera https://audidev.sciencesconf.org/ (20-21 November)
- Journées Perception Sonore co-organized by #SFA and #IRCAM https://sites.google.com/view/jps-2023/accueil?authuser=0 (21-22 November)

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.
