We’re delighted to announce our second keynote speaker for #ConfMusSleep: Dr. Mélanie Strauss! 🎶 Her talk “When the Sleeping Brain Keeps Listening” explores how predictive coding and auditory novelty detection (MMN, P300) persist and evolve as we drift into sleep.

Dansk studie afslører: Hjernen ændrer sig på 3 måder, når du hører musik
Hjerneforskere fra Aarhus Universitet kaster lys over hjernens netværk, når vi hører lyde og musik. Det kan potentielt gøre os bedre til at screene for blandt andet demens i fremtiden, håber de.

@musicinthebrain.bsky.social har undersøgt, hvor meget groove stofmisbrugere oplevede, når de hørte musik. Resultatet viser, at testgruppen med stofmisbrugere, sammenlignet med en testgruppe, der aldrig har prøvet kokain eller heroin, foretrækker kompliceret musik👇

Hjerneforsker i Aarhus spillede musik for tidligere stofmisbrugere og gjorde overraskende opdagelse
Hvis man igennem en årrække har taget stofferne kokain og heroin, foretrækker man ifølge nyt dansk studie mere kompleks musik. Forklaringen kan findes i dopamin-balancen.

Trust is a precious commodity, but it is essential in science, notably when people from different fields are collaborating. Neuroscientist Leo and mathematician Ramon are trying to understand brain function and long-term memory.

New paper shows that PLUMM is shaped not just by syncopation but also by the no of rhythmic layers, the roles of different instruments and their interactions, extending our understanding of the rhythmic features driving the motor and hedonic responses to music. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
