Had a great time presenting my work on chunking and memory, as well as the effect of cycle length in cross-cultural rhythm perception @rppw.bsky.social
Both of these talks explored long and complex temporal patterns in North Indian classical Music.

Lovely time presenting my work on temporal learning of North Indian Classical Rhythmic Patterns at #SysMus25
@nashraa.bsky.social gave a presentation today at #SysMus25!! Excited to see that familiarity, length and non-isochrony affects the temporal learning of North Indian Rhythms! #musicscience
