The final paper from my PhD is finally out! Huge thank you to my supervisors @genevieve132.bsky.social and @nicolenelson.bsky.social for their support with this! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
From Mozart to Fleetwood Mac: music listening is not detrimental to reading comprehension in university students
Most university students choose to study with music, yet whether this is detrimental or beneficial for studying remains unclear. We investigated the impact of music listening with 279 participants ...

Congratulations to Samantha Curtis for winning the best student presentation prize at the just finished EPC and APCV joint conference. Her talk title was “Priming the distractor reduces the Stroop interference effect by uncoupling the color and word.”
Students are the pride and joy of EPC and APCV. Congratulations to this year’s student presentation award winners!

Had a cracking week at the @expsyanz.bsky.social & APCV conference hosted at UNSW 🙌🏼
Was good fun presenting some prelim findings from my 1st PhD study + chat with some cool researchers 🤓
Thanks for the opportunity to present + see the great work being done in experimental psych! 🧠

Proud to have been part of the small but mighty team behind this year’s EPC/APCV with @sbmost.bsky.social, Branka Spehar & @popwatson.bsky.social.
Pulling off a 400+ person event with just a few academics wasn’t easy, but we managed to do it while keeping that classic EPC warmth and supportiveness.

I had a blast but organising a conference is full on and it's hard to focus on anything else when the thing is running. Thankfully my co-hosts were excellent and the team made it happen. Branka Spehar, @sbmost.bsky.social @jamesdunn.bsky.social. You wear many hats in academia and now I need a rest
And that's a wrap!! #epc2025 is in the books, with a lovely closing speech from @visnerd.bsky.social.
SO many thanks to the organising committee for building such a successful conference 🙌
We'll see you next year in Auckland 🇳🇿

Just finished my poster for OHBM. The results blow the discussion about V2 & V3 layout wide open. We find hemispheric asymmetry!
Fantastic work by my student Ruby Barahona, collaboration with the also fantastic @felenitaribeiro.bsky.social and Noah Benson.
