Seeking PhD students for research in computational models of rhythm perception at McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada). Work may also include experiments on rhythm production in Parkinson’s patients and/or analysis of intracranial dopamine and LFO data, depending on interests and skills.

Seeking students — especially Canadian residents, who are less expensive, but all applicants welcome — to study the computational and neural underpinnings of rhythm perception and production! Reach out with questions or interest at cannoj9@mcmaster.ca.

Back home after a fantastic @rppw.bsky.social . A “home conference” is where you don’t have to explain why people should care about what you care about, and having one is such a luxury.

Preprint alert: how do we learn to synchronize our movement with rhythmic sounds? And why is it so much fun? We’ve created a reinforcement learning model to explore possible hypotheses, and one hypothesis came out on top! Read on! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Learning Sensorimotor Synchronization Through Reinforcement in Neural Networks
The ability to synchronize movements to auditory rhythms, foundational to music making and dance, develops gradually over the first 10 years of life, likely thr

Not that anybody would be looking for opportunities outside the states these days, but I'm recruiting a PhD student in auditory stuff (Developmental and/or Cognitive / citizen science etc) here in Auckland, NZ

We do citizen science to learn how the human mind creates and perceives music.

It's a crazy time, but I've been sitting on this for a while and I want to get word out. I've been thinking about the role of sensory feedback in rhythmic behaviour, and I wrote a synthesis/reflection/modeling piece. Accepted by J. Music Perception in August! osf.io/preprints/ps... Thread...

Dorsal striatum is a different beast from the ventral reward prediction machine — that’s where dopamine is more involved in movement, but this paper shows it doing a lot of other things too. I’m looking forward to digging into this.
A detailed new look at dopamine signaling suggests neuroscientists’ model of reinforcement learning may need to be revised. #MIT
