Do Musicians Have Better Short-Term Memory Than Non-musicians? Anne-Caclin, Ragnya-Norasoa Souffiane, et Marie-Elisabeth Plasse from the PAM team contributed to this multilab study ! @francescatalamini.bsky.social @masssimo006.bsky.social
Rolf Zwaan is starting a new podcast 'As it Happens', following a large-scale psychology research project, where labs around the world collaborate to study human memory. (I am one of the collaborators). The first episode is out! shows.acast.com/research-as-...

Learning to play a musical instrument is often assumed to improve brain functioning & cognition. To test this, a new #RSOS study compared non-musicians, amateur & professional #musicians: doi.org/10.1098/rsos... @francescatalamini.bsky.social @cesarflima.bsky.social @masssimo006.bsky.social
Sometimes I remember that I have a bluesky account ;)
I'm very happy to share our last paper, investigating how cognitive skills relate to different levels of musical expertise:
