We are remarkably good at recognizing natural auditory “textures”, such as the soothing sound of a running brook or fire crackling in a chimney. But do you think you could remember the exact rain texture that opens “Riders on the Storm”?
The University of Pisa (PI Paola Binda) is recruiting two PhD candidates in the MSCA network indibrain.eu. Neuroscience students with an interest for the sensory brain are particularly encouraged to apply (webform: apply.workable.com/umcg1/j/5CA7...). .

Haven’t read the full article yet, but this is a big deal if true!

out now in Science: @loganjames.bsky.social collected pairs of sounds in 16 species where we *know* which sound is more attractive (to that species)
he played them to ppl on themusiclab.org, asking, in each pair, which was nicer. humans agreed w other animals

Here is our latest work on newborns and music perception!
How does the brain track patterns 🎶 in a noisy world 🔊? How does it choose when to reset its memory and when to carry it forward?
We provide some answers in this new work by @kahomagami.bsky.social that I co-authored with @mariachait.bsky.social, Marcus Pearce and Edward Hall!
The MSCA funds two three-year PhD positions with research in collaboration with the ultra-high field Magnetic Resonance center Imago7 located in Pisa). Deadline: 27th of February 2026

Does our very human ability to anticipate #musical structure exist at birth? @robertabianco.bsky.social @giacomonovembre.bsky.social &co show that #newborns encode #rhythmic (but not melodic) expectations based on statistical regularities in real #music @plosbiology.org plos.io/4kqKVWg
