Together, these studies suggest that the link between music and cognition may not be linear or universal, but critically dependent on individual rhythmic capacities. Really happy to have worked on these ideas over the years with @Fher_LizcanoC and Pablo Ripolles

[M. Florencia Assaneo @FlorAssaneo]

Why is the literature relating music and cognition so contradictory? Some studies report strong cognitive advantages associated with musical training, while others find weak or null effects. How can both be true?

[M. Florencia Assaneo @FlorAssaneo]

This framework can naturally generate both positive and null findings across studies — without assuming that the literature is inconsistent or flawed. A few years later, we provided behavioral evidence supporting this proposal. https://t.co/XXlnSkSWaF

Phonological processing=left dorsal stream? Not in Mexican Spanish-speaking children at reading onset. Here, bilateral ventral pathways predict phonological awareness. Neuroscience must broaden the populations it studies to build generalizable brain models.https://t.co/Fy55LQjwSp

[M. Florencia Assaneo @FlorAssaneo]

Is musical training really beneficial for cognition? @PabloRiVi @Fher_LizcanoC, and I hypothesize that it enhances cognition but ONLY for certain individuals, with rhythmic abilities being a key factor. Check out our new PlosBiol Perspective!

Thrilled to be at #ohbm presenting my latest work with @FlorAssaneo @davidpoeppel and F.Mantegna as well as our youngest lab member! Drop by poster #1055 to chat. Plus my new lab at @Georgetown is currently offering two fully funded postdoc positions🔥Come see me or message me

Our collaboration with pip from San Luis Potosí University is out! Very nice work showing difficulties to whisper in noise and to keep stable the syllabic rhythmic structure in adults with Parkinson. https://t.co/3aNY7xSJQA

[M. Florencia Assaneo @FlorAssaneo]

Did you ever wonder if statistical learning is still plausible for non rhythmic stimulus? My friends @Ireririri @PabloRiVi @JOGBCN @davidpoeppel and I answered this question here: https://t.co/tCUxzusFHN

Replicating a finding previously established in German-speaking and English-speaking cohorts, Norwegian-speaking participants likewise form a bimodal distribution of high synchronizers and low synchronizers. @GuroSjuls

really happy to share our extensive MEG naturalistic listening dataset! official publication now out: https://t.co/9wBYHMXDST

delighted to see research teams already using the data to answer really interesting and varied questions! 🧠👂🗣️

[M. Florencia Assaneo @FlorAssaneo]

Are relative and absolute timing truly two different mechanisms? Here, with @KeithD11 and @Luc_H_Arnal we show by bringing together behavioral data, oscillators and Bayesian predictions that they can be sides of the same coin.

First HabLab retreat. And many more to come.

Hace varios años, mi admirado y querido Marcos Trevisan @marc_trev viene liderando un área muy original, encontrando cosas muy lindas en la dinámica del uso de las palabras. El link, por 50 días gratarola.

1/n JoCN Travel Fellowship to attend https://t.co/RL4lzns2d3, deadline approaching! @JOCN_Journal has teamed up with @CogNeuroNews to create the JoCN Travel Fellowship, which provides a travel stipend for trainees from geographically underrepresented countries to attend

Happy to share the first paper 100% done in hablab (my new lab at @UNAM_MX). Auditory-motor synch is much more restricted than previously assumed, not everyone can synchronize to anything! https://t.co/W8mgsSjiEf

Yesterday we had the last day of the audiomotor symposium. We finished by two immense talks. Steven Eliades with a brilliant feedback loop model in marmosets and Robert Zatorre explaining the dosal and ventral streams for music. What a great meeting! #AIC2023
