What makes a person accessible from the perspective of adults with learning disabilities?
I’m so pleased to have been involved in this important work by @drmkirby.bsky.social and the Purple Research Group @purplepatcharts.bsky.social. Full article is here doi.org/10.1111/bld....

These video portraits of musicians silently imagining their way through their own choice of music are really moving.
Perfectly connected to our interests @innermusicgroup.bsky.social
I like your philosophical take on the situation!
Final stretches of pre-Christmas activities. This weekend features @yorkshirewinds.bsky.social festive programme in York then Leeds Haydn Players concert (prominent oboe solos 😬) in Leeds. Saying a prayer to the god of oboe reeds. Tap performance is next. Exhausted already and no letup with work 😅
We’ve got 8 PhD studentships open in Durham for interdisciplinary research, especially projects sitting at the intersection of humanities and sciences. Many music psychology projects can tick these boxes! Feel free to get in touch www.durham.ac.uk/departments/...
An #AMPS advent calendar! What a great idea!
I wrote some words about David Huron for Music and Science.

Looking forward to reading this research from my @musicpsychleeds.bsky.social colleagues
Today’s the day. Send us your abstracts to present at the Inner Music and Wellbeing International Symposium.
I’m really looking forward to welcoming our new postgraduate students to our ‘Applied Psychology of Music’ and ‘Music and Well-being’ programmes next week @universityofleeds.bsky.social. Another exciting year ahead!
Spread the word. This promises to be a stimulating event (though I might be a bit biased!).
Congratulations and welcome!
Super exciting news: We’re proud to announce the call for contributions for the inaugural Inner Music and Wellbeing international symposium, with funding from the AHRC. Here are the details.
Neat design for a new test of musical imagery ability incorporating pitch and rhythm presented by @aliyaedwards.bsky.social at #ICMPC18 #musicscience
@karenburland.bsky.social
Looking forward to sharing our research at today’s Music and Parental Wellbeing Symposium with Polly Ives from Concerteenies and Karen Burland.
Wonderful talk by @j-w-cannon.bsky.social from @musicpsychleeds.bsky.social presenting survey study and rich data on emotion, embodied pleasure and social connection at electronic dance music events #ICMPC18 #ICMPC2025 #MusicScience
Academic conference attendees: you know how hard it is to pick which papers to attend with parallel sessions? By attending #icmpc18 and the Music for Parental Wellbeing symposium concurrently (online), I’ve doubled the problem! Exhausted already!
Stimulating symposium at #icmpc18 on inclusion and diversity in music studies.
SysMus has become such an important highlight in the research calendar for our early career researchers. Great to see @musicpsychleeds.bsky.social members making the most of their time in Oslo.
Picture of a silk fan sitting on a desk
Warm and humid at work today, so the perfect time to remember this lovely embroidered fan which was a gift from a student.
Great to see members of @musicpsychleeds.bsky.social in your photos @j-w-cannon.bsky.social
@innermusicgroup.bsky.social, this looks like some fascinating research
Excited to see the ECR #musicscience community in Oslo and online next week for @sysmus.bsky.social
Who is coming along?
New entry in our database of musical imagery in fiction and biography! 📖
Jack Reacher, the protagonist of @leechild58.bsky.social's novels, often experiences music internally rather than through external devices. Example from 'The Killing Floor' below 👇

Thanks @ryanshirlow.bsky.social! I’d love to know more about your PhD.
Tomorrow evening I'll be delivering a public talk about the 'Science of 'Earworms': reasons to care about the 'sounds' of silence': www.cafe-sci.org.uk Ideas relating to our work at the @innermusicgroup.bsky.social
