💡 #Ideas are not something you find or get, they need to be carved out of promising thoughts. As a #student, #researcher, and #supervisor, I realized #developing an #idea needs finding a thought with potential, using techniques and seeing how it responds, always remembering the end #goal.

Prof. Allan Vurma together with his team have been studying also #voiced #consonants, i.e. /l/, /m/, /n/ and /v/, in the context of trying to understand the #perception of #text #intelligibility in #Western #classical #style #singing (e.g. in #opera). See more: doi.org/10.1121/10.0...

#Research team lead by Prof. Allan #Vurma #published in the journal of #Music #perception just recently an #article on the perception of /k/, /p/ and /t/ in Western classical style singing in a concert hall! Open for a limited time here: online.ucpress.edu/mp/article/d...

#Research #ethics is something we all need to refresh ourselves on regularly. I’m really glad to see this new, clear, and accessible guide: www.globalcodeofconduct.org/trust-code/

Being an #intern and taking part of #Music #Neuroscience #summer school at the @musicinthebrain.bsky.social in #Aarhus, #Denmark was such an amazing experience! I developed both professionally and personally and really hope to do my #postdoc there, too!

Spring school "Clear Messages from Research" organized by Estonian Doctoral Students' Society was truly refreshing and inspiring! We learned from leaders with PhD, shared our research and university experience to high school students, and discovered the amazingly picturesque cliffs in Ida-Virumaa! 💙

I am excited to announce that I will take part and present a poster on SysMus25 (@sysmus.bsky.social) taking place at the @unioslo-ritmo.bsky.social! If you are going onsite or would like to discuss the topics and experience from afar, please don't hesitate to #connect!

📢 Now is the time to start your PhD journey!
Glad to have the chance to be part of the discussions.
For me, PhD has been the most intense as well as best time of my life. I know I have won, no matter what my future holds.

Excited to organize a conference on the intersections of musicology and natural sciences 🌱 There will be fascinating talks by researchers from animal ecology (@Christel Rose Bachmann) and music theory (@Kerri Kotta) to psychobiology (@Daniela Lenti Boero) and music psychology (@Helen Prior)! ✨

🎼 According to new research by Veeda Kala, it takes the combined efforts of composers , librettists, conductors, directors, teachers, producers, acousticians, and researchers to ensure that audiences fully grasp the story and lyrics.

I'm delighted that the workshop by @poulholm.bsky.social made me realize the tight connection between #humanities and natural #environment and that my love for #music #psychology and #nature can end up coming together!
