Why do participants stop responding in #ESM / #EMA studies? 📱🔔
Average compliance is about 7️⃣9️⃣%, but that hides massive variation.
Our new m-Path blog reviews predictors of response compliance: study design, incentives, participant traits, and time effects.

ppt slide that states three considerations: 1, intentional pauses; 2, sequencing; 3, human grounding.
ppt slide that provides a quote from a published paper. reads, "by institutionalizing time and space for listening and dialogue, organizations re-anchor work in social context and help counter the depleting, individualizing effects of fast, ai-mediated work"
online this afternoon for an #AMPlify2026 session with @solangeglasser.bsky.social who's talking working with AI.
I appreciated explicit consideration of giving yourself time and space to think, and reflecting on how you curate that relative to your processes.
got to do a @skypeascientist.bsky.social session today to share some #MusicScience for international women’s day. super fun. #IWD2026

#MusicScience #PubChat (7/7) 📚 🧵
IMPLICATIONS: Substantial and meaningful variation in listener habits is evident even in a sample of younger adults, who -- largely from a technology use perspective -- are often grouped together with an assumption that they engage in music quite similarly.

Figure 1. Profile plot of the four extracted latent profiles (n = 584). Four lines are plotted against the inputted variables showing the different profiles.
RESULTS: LPA identified four distinct profiles of listeners: disengaged consumers (5.8% of the sample), enthusiasts (14.2%) and two mainstream listening profiles differentiated by paid (52.6%) versus free streaming use (27.4%).
#MusicScience (5/)
METHOD: We included 17 indicators in our LPA models (standardized to aid with interpretation): a music importance rating, 2 MUSEBAQ scores, 7 music format usage ratings, 2 musical self-image scores, and 5 MET scores.
#MusicScience (4/)
METHOD: We used Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), a statistical technique that identifies latent subgroups within a population, to explore profiles of music listening in younger adults.
Sample= 584 adults aged 17-35 (Mage = 19.61) residing in Australia (74.1% female + 23.3% male).
#MusicScience (3/)
BACKGROUND: Even though listening technologies greatly impact listening practices, much of the research on their use is descriptive. Krause and North (2016) argued psychological constructs should be considered when investigating listening practices and technology use.

I am writing to announce a 5-year Research Fellowship in Music Science at the MARCS Institute, Australia.
You will design and lead research projects that use mathematical and computational approaches to investigate music and its cognition.

How well can you remember yesterday? We are looking for people over the age of 30 to take part in our short questionnaire. Takes around 15 minutes. Does involve some free typing so might be easier on tablet or laptop.

i simply thought today was a day people weren't emailing me which was fortuitous for working on a manuscript. silly me. it was just that outlook wasn't working - CUE 50 emails coming in AT ONCE after the work day ended.

🎧 Why does the same song make you feel different things at different times?
My new paper shows it’s not just the music — it’s your goals.
👉 Do our goals shape the emotions music evokes?

Almost 5 years ago now, when we were little PhD students, a group of us had a paper idea. We huddled together in our cramped office meeting room to write an early version of this paper. MANY iterations later, we're all now postdocs, and the paper is now out!

A particular moment in my favourite Radiohead song always gives me goosebumps every time I play it. Turns out susceptibility to such “chills” (induced by music, poetry, art) varies between people & that genetic differences play a part. Check out our new paper, led by @giacomobignardi.bsky.social. 👇🧪

✨Announcing the 2026 #AMPlify Series 📣
We are excited to announce the 2026 AMPlify ECR professional development series featuring a dynamic line-up of inspiring speakers! #savethedate
Excited to announce our article has been published! doi.org/10.1177/2059...
I led a project to operationalise constructs that identify the emotional episodes people experience listening to music. #MusicScience experts assessed items against prior theory, a surprisingly under reported practice 🔭❗

MUSICONNEX conference addresses the following questions: How can music help to connect with self and others? How can we study and measure this across mind, body, and varied contexts? What are the related next steps in research and engagement platforms?
Important dates: Abstract submission opens on the 2nd of February, 2026. Abstract submittion deadline is the 31st of March, 2026. For more information, visit our website.
We are excited to announce the MUSICONNEX Conference!
The hybrid conference will be hosted @coe-mmbb.bsky.social , @uniofjyvaskyla.bsky.social, Finland, on Sept 22–24th 2026. Check our keynotes, website, and contact information in the comments.

New systematic review/meta-analysis: Music is widely used in exercise, yet its cognitive & affective effects remain unclear. Results show no consistent overall effects, but meta-regression indicates that higher exercise intensity predicts smaller effects of music. Read more: doi.org/10.3389/fpsy...

2026 is off to a great start! 🎉 Excited to share my new open-access publication in @plosone.org! 🎶 This study examines how our sense of self (self-construal) influences the pleasure (musical reward) we get from listening to our favourite music. Read it here: doi.org/10.1371/jour...
Can the same song make you feel happy and sad? Our new study shows emotional complexity—feeling both positive and negative emotions—is common with personally meaningful music, but varies across people. Discover what influences it: doi.org/10.1016/j.jr...
