celebrating my birthday this yr with a recent first author paper acceptance! here, we found that perceptual biases towards lower frequencies—but not individual differences in music reward sensitivity—modulate the perception of the classic speech-to-song illusion. preprint 🔗 tinyurl.com/3sca8vr2

New preprint! Do individuals with musical anhedonia perceive illusory speech in song? Sort of! They rate all speech stimuli as less musical than controls, but hear increased musicality with repetition. And they don't like hearing speech, whether or not it transforms into song. osf.io/preprints/ps...

You can read our new paper on modelling multiple data streams with varying dimensionality (alternately titled "What am I going to do with all these dimensions?!") if you want to.
It's not even a little bit illegal.
