Why does live music hit different? Our new paper has a neural answer: EEG in a concert hall showed stronger brain-rhythm phase locking during live vs. recorded Bach violin — and that predicts higher pleasure & engagement. 1/2

Thrilled to share that The New Yorker featured my work on musical anhedonia - why some people don’t experience pleasure from music, and what this reveals about how our brains predict and process reward.

Such a pleasure to be part of this! Here is a snapshot of our co-writing session. The Lorentz Center was perfectly set up for this type of co-creating.
Thanks to the great students in my lab, and support from NSF & NIH 🙏
🎶 New paper 🚨: Perceiving Creativity in Novel Musical Sequences: An EEG Study.
Using a sequencer in the non-traditional Bohlen Pierce Scale, we show that perceived creativity correlates with EEG neural synchronization at the note rate and harmonics, and with sequence-level information metrics

EEG beta band activity and frequency-tagged activity at the note rate tracks listeners’ creativity judgments across participants, as well as interval entropy and prediction error.
