In our new study with @DrJazzbop & others, participants cycled ~6 minutes longer at high intensity with self-selected music, with no meaningful differences in end-exercise physiological/perceptual responses.

New Research Suggests That Music Choice Can Improve Your Endurance.
A new study by @AndrewDanso explores how to boost endurance – and feel like you’re doing less – with music.

Out now: The cognitive-affective benefit of listening to music during exercise likely depends on how hard you're working. Our new meta-analysis shows higher exercise intensity = smaller effects of music. https://t.co/nBqy4ZtQMf @FrontiersIn
New preprint: “Feel the Beat, Not the Burn”
29 adults cycled ~6 min longer with self-selected music (120-140 BPM) vs. no music, despite similar HR, VO₂, and RPE: pointing to perceptual, not metabolic, effects.

Can VR support post-stroke cognitive screening & improve patient engagement?
Our new @JMIR_XR study explored this via a custom VR task using spatial audio + visual cues. We found:
- Feasibility/patterns of attentional bias
- High usability

New accepted & forthcoming meta-analysis on Personalised Interactive Music Systems (PIMS) for physical activity & exercise w/ @JMIR_HF
We find PIMS significantly increase pleasure & exercise duration. Faster tempo music = stronger effects and performance.

Arguably the most important project in the history of exercise science thus far. Equally enlightening is the accompanying "Reflections" paper. This conversation is long overdue. Congrats to @JennyMurphy2 for this incredible achievement and to @SportsMedicineJ for publishing these papers.

Do music & sport identities influence health? Our new preprint shows:
→ Stronger music & sport identities = better health via self-efficacy & health behaviours.
→ Only sport identity was directly linked to mental health.

Can music before sleep buffer the effects of anxiety on sleep?
Figure 1 from our new preprint suggests: maybe— with frequent use.
Higher pre-sleep music use may weaken the anxiety–sleep link.
Music as a self-regulatory tool?

New online study looking at how people rate a musical rehearsal between two singers. It just takes 5-10 minutes and it'd be great if you could have a listen:

Can music influence cognitive control & pleasure during exercise? Our new meta-analysis finds it increases attention (g = 1.05), inhibitory control (g = 1.87) & affect (g = 0.86)— but fades at higher exercise intensities. Our preprint @medrxivpreprint https://t.co/9cKLYDkihq
What do fireflies, fish schools, and dancers have in common? They self-organize—and now, science has a model to explain it! Our new study uses swarmalators to reveal the hidden physics of the dance floor.
