The platform supports real-time dialogue, vocal exchange, coordination, and co-creation between two interacting brains — across speech, nonverbal vocalisations, and music 🎶🗣️.

I’m thrilled to share that the year ended with a crucial infrastructure grant from @carlsbergfondet.dk 🎓, allowing us to acquire a new dual-scanner audio system and enabling a unique fMRI hyperscanning setup 🧠🧠 for studying live human interaction between our two neighbouring Siemens 3T scanners.

These findings extend research on musical neuroplasticity from instrumentalists to singers, emphasizing the impact of early and sustained vocal training on brain structure.

...specifically in regions linked to auditory processes, vocal motor control, and executive functions. Additionally, we observed a correlation between years of professional singing and increased thickness in the midbody, a region involved in coordinating bilateral sensorimotor integration.

Our new preprint is out! 🚨

How does vocal training shape the brain? In this high-resolution MRI study, we investigated corpus callosum structure in professional opera singers compared to non-singers. We found that earlier vocal training is associated with greater callosal thickness, ...
