Results from a large multisite study, led by @whiteford.bsky.social!
It has been "known" that musical experience improves auditory coding in the brainstem. But...a new multilab study concludes
"Our findings provide no evidence for associations between early auditory neural responses and either musical training or musical ability."

A collision of seasons this morning in #Pittsburgh. I've been hoping for years to capture snowglobe views that included the cherry blossoms on the North Shore, and this morning I finally got that opportunity. There was even an amazing sunrise afterwards, and I'll be sharing those images soon.
