What we found (100 participants imagining a journey):
- Random micro-variations enhanced the vividness of imagined content compared to silence and mechanical playing.
- With random micro-variations, participants imagined travelling further and for longer.

We asked: how do random micro-variations in timing and loudness shape mental imagery, compared to mechanical drumming (that does not have those variations!) or silence?

Ugur @ugurmkaya.bsky.social from our lab just gave a great talk at #ICMPC18 on how vocalists draw on their own intuitions to influence the vividness and emotional quality of listeners’ mental imagery. 🎤

My wonderful PhD supervisor, @steffenherff.bsky.social, gave a fantastic talk at #ICMPC18 on “Expertise predicts more efficient muscle spike shapes in drummers” today! 🥁 Incredible to see how nuanced motor control evolves with skill 💪

We asked participants to name three pieces of music they would listen to when feeling lonely and explain why. Through reflexive thematic analysis, we identified six key themes. See the graph below 📊

+++ Luiza and I met *virtually* two years ago at SysMus21, and now we’re doing our PhDs together at the MARCS Institute, not only attended #SysMus23 together until 4 am Sydney time, but virtually sat together! 👯♀️🎶🎙️👀 #musicscience
