Does music training improve emotion recognition and cognitive abilities?
It enhances fine-motor skills & auditory memory; it doesn't improve emotion recognition, other cognitive abilities, or socioemotional functioning.

Bottom line: music training has limited effects on nonmusical abilities. It appears to improve fine-motor skills and auditory memory, but not emotion recognition, other cognitive abilities, or socioemotional functioning.

New paper out in @CognitionJourn: https://t.co/6OfT4bXG9D. Does music training enhance emotion recognition and cognitive abilities in children? A 2-year longitudinal study found no effect on emotion recognition in voices and faces compared to basketball training or no training.

[César Lima @cesarflima]

Our findings suggest that the impact of music training on cognitive and emotional abilities may not be as broad as often claimed. Most effects were absent, and observed links with emotion recognition may reflect preexisting factors.

Our paper on individual differences in musicality is now published in @NatureComms! 🧠🎶 We found that variations in musical perceptual abilities in the general population are linked to diffs in brain network systems largely dedicated to working memory and other exec functions /1

Many people on Twitter helped us develop this questionnaire, and now @CeciCaiqing @marie_ahoi @cesarflima and I are delighted to present the Laughter Perception and Production Questionnaire, to measure people’s experiences of laughter https://t.co/DdHrtqklMH

I’m so happy to share our newest paper in which we found evidence that children’s neural tracking of musical rhythms is associated with their grammatical skills!! Congrats to 1st author @v_persici for her outstanding work and thank you @NIDCD for the support!!! @VanderbiltENT

📢 Exciting News! 🧠⚡
Happy to share our latest preprint! We show that Zygomaticus activation through facial neuromuscular electric stimulation (fNMES) induces happiness perception in ambiguous facial expressions

Does human auditory cortex process the singing voice as more than sung speech, and if so, why? A new paper by Ilana Harris, Efe Niven, @aegriffcogneuro and me - read it here https://t.co/OI7ycmdHis

⚠️New paper at Nature Human Behaviour⚠️

Can posed smiles make people feel happier?

In a global adversarial collaboration, we found overwhelming support for this controversial hypothesis.

But we couldnt resolve one thing: concerns about a popular pen-in-mouth smiling task.
