Here’s a clip showing motion capture data of a string quartet playing unfamiliar music together, from our paper that was published this week with @Dobri_Dotov, @candrew123, @dbosnyak, @lucastklein, @ElgerDoesMD & @Laurel_Trainor! @musicandthemind

Music researchers out in the wild! Last night after the #NeuroMusic2024 Synaptic Rodeo performance ☺️

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

Had so much fun helping run the NeuroMusic conference jam session this year ☺️
Also making my twitter comeback… can you still call it twitter?

[MIMM @musicandthemind]

#Neuromusic2024 is off to a GREAT start, with an awesome jam last night, talk this morning by @lkcirelli, and poster session! Can’t wait for the rest of the sessions ☺️🧠🎶 #NeuroMusic

Happy 16/12 🤩 #vulfpeck

Undetectable very-low frequency sound increases dancing at a live concert.
Check out a very special project from my colleagues at McMaster U + @DoctorHove + orphx from @HandsLabel :o. https://t.co/kIzXgNpvj4 @Dan_Cameron @FlatenErica @musicandthemind

Say hi to the Trainor Lab 2022/2023 (Our first group pic in three years!) 🎼

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

@FlatenErica @musicandthemind Yay! Thank SO MUCH for your EEG expertise 😀

Ft. Rory Kirk, visiting PhD student from University of Sheffield, starting our evening off!

After months of prep we finally had our #researchconcert with amazing pianists from the Canadian chopin society last night in the LIVELab @musicandthemind! We’re so excited to look at audience physiological reactions to these breathtaking performances 🧠🎶 #datatime

Goran Folkestad at #Sempre50 makes an intriguing observation about the changing path of musical learning. Do children now more create first and play instruments later?

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

@chantalcarrillo Thanks, you're a pretty swell travel buddy yourself 🙂

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

Here are some snaps of our lab's presentations from the #smpc2022 conference last week feat. @chantalcarrillo, @Dan_Cameron and twitterless Jesse Pazdera! Thanks again to the organizers for hosting such an incredible conference, it felt so good to be all together again :)

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

Also celebrating @mosh_shu joining the lab!! Welcome to Canada😄

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

Throwback to our lab dinner at #SMPC2022 celebrating our amazing supervisor @Laurel_Trainor's Lifetime Achievement Award! I am in constant awe of Laurel's vast knowledge of music science and feel so inspired working with her. So many CONGRATS!

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

Excited to give a talk at #SMPC2022 today at 3pm PST (session 26) on coordination dynamics of a string quartet learning new music together (session 26)!

Here’s my take on ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush. It’s been stuck in my head ever since it’s been trending! #pianocovers

[Emily Wood @Wood_EA]

@candrew123 @nataliepeluso My apologies, I meant to post this paper, which looked at the same measures of body sway in a piano trio playing emotional pieces from their current repertoire https://t.co/xqooeDufAd

@nataliepeluso @Dobri_Dotov @candrew123 @dbosnyak @lucastklein @ElgerDoesMD @Laurel_Trainor @musicandthemind Great Q! We only recorded movements across 8 trials of unfamiliar pieces to see how they changed, but we did not include a rehearsed piece. That would've been interesting to compare!

[MIMM @musicandthemind]

NEW LIVELab Publication!🎉🙌 Our incredible team of researchers used #LIVELab's motion capture system to investigate how the coordination dynamics of a professional string quartet changed as they learned unfamiliar pieces together.

@Dobri_Dotov @candrew123 @dbosnyak @lucastklein @ElgerDoesMD @Laurel_Trainor @musicandthemind This work suggests that classical musicians’ body sway is related to learning of a common internally based interpretation of the music. You can read the open-access article here: https://t.co/aUS5vToirN
