DESCRIPTION:In the field of music cognition\, mental imagery—that is\, q
 uasi-perceptual experience in the absence of the corresponding external se
 nsory input—has mainly been studied with a focus on auditory imagery. Re
 cent research shows\, however\, that other modalities such as visual menta
 l imagery (i.e.\, seeing images in one’s mind’s eye) form an integral 
 part of the experience of music listening\, too. In this presentation\, I 
 will give an overview of new empirical studies on music-induced visual men
 tal imagery\, addressing some fundamental questions such as its content\, 
 function\, relation to emotion\, and neurophysiological correlates. The ma
 in argument is that music listening is a multimodal phenomenon which navig
 ates other sensory modalities and provides a fruitful model to investigate
  the routes from perception to imagination.\nSpeakers:\nMats Küssner (Hum

DESCRIPTION:Throughout 2023\, I have been standing still for ten minutes a
 round noon every day\, in a different room each day. This project follows 
 a decade-long exploration of human micromotion from both artistic and scie
 ntific perspectives. In the talk\, I will present results from the annual 
 Norwegian Championships of Standstill\, where we have studied the influenc
 e of music on people's micromotion. I will also talk about how micromotion
  can be used in interactive music systems\, allowing for the conscious and
  unconscious control of musical sounds.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Alexander Re

DESCRIPTION:This session will use contrasting examples of clinical work in
  different settings to consider the complex understanding of neurological\
 , physiological\, and psychotherapeutic principles which inform music ther
 apy. Despite the increasing quantitative evidence of clinical efficacy\, m
 usic therapy remains a small and somewhat misunderstood profession. Throug
 h asking the questions ‘What do we hear? What do we feel? What do we kno
 w?’ we will examine a little of the intimate clinical interactions betwe
 en client and music therapist and seek to understand more about the interw
 eaving of musical\, intellectual\, and emotional underpinning required by 
 music therapists in order to ensure effective clinical interventions.\nSpe

SUMMARY:Emotional Engagement with Music affects subsequent Musical Imagery

DESCRIPTION:Research has established that the encoding of events in memory
  can be impacted by our emotional state. However\, when it comes to memory
  for music\, remarkably little is known about the impact of emotional enga
 gement with music on subsequently imagining that music. In collaboration w
 ith colleagues from the University of Leeds\, a within-subjects musical im
 agery induction paradigm was used to investigate the relationship between 
 emotional engagement when listening to music\, and subsequent musical imag
 ery. We hypothesised that Involuntary Musical Imagery (INMI) is more likel
 y to occur\, and to be more vivid\, for music felt to be emotional than fo
 r affectively neutral music. Following pilot testing\, we created stimuli 
 by counterbalancing the pairing of emotionally neutral music tracks with p
 ositive\, negative\, and neutral film clips. Participants (N = 73) encount
 ered these stimuli in an exposure phase\, before completing a silent fille
 r task. We then retrospectively asked about anyexperiences of imagining mu
 sic during the filler task. Finally\, a test of voluntary musical imagery 
 accuracy (incorporating participants’ own music nominations) allowed us 
 to test the hypothesis of greater imagery accuracy for music felt to be em
 otional than not. Binomial logistic analysis of INMI occurrence revealed t
 hat the most frequently imagined music came from the last stimulus present
 ed\, but also that music paired with the positive film significantly incre
 ased the odds of INMI occurrence. Neither INMI vividness\, nor accuracy in
  the voluntary musical imagery task were affected by emotional valence. We
  provide new evidence of a link between positive emotion and subsequent IN
 MI occurrence\, with scope for further exploration of the role of emotiona
 l intensity as a factor contributing to musical imagery formation.\nSpeake

SUMMARY:Studying the effect of oral transmission on music evolution using

DESCRIPTION:Music has been transmitted orally for countless human generati
 ons\, changing over time under the influence of biological\, cognitive\, a
 nd cultural factors. How does oral transmission shape the evolution of mus
 ic\, and why do human songs have the structure they do? Here we explored t
 hese questions by running large-scale music evolution experiments with sin
 ging\, in which melodies were orally transmitted from one participant to t
 he next. Our results show that oral transmission plays a profound role in 
 the emergence of musical structures\, shaping initially random sounds into
  more structured systems that increasingly reuse and combine fewer element
 s (e.g.\, small pitch sets\, small pitch intervals\, arch-shaped melodic c
 ontours). However\, we find that the emergence of these structures depends
  on a complex interplay between individual factors (e.g.\, vocal constrain
 ts and memory biases) and social influences acting on participants during 
 cultural transmission. Together\, these results provide the first quantita
 tive characterization of the rich collection of biases that oral transmiss
 ion imposes on music evolution\, giving us a new understanding of how huma
 n song structures emerge via cultural transmission.\nSpeakers:\nDr Manuel

DESCRIPTION:Many people think that music is a particularly “powerful” 
 cue for bringing back memories from our lives. Empirical research has part
 ially supported this idea\, by showing that music can evoke more vivid and
  emotional autobiographical memories than various other everyday cues. But
  it is still not well understood as to why music might be a particularly s
 alient cue for such memories. In this talk I will discuss recent studies i
 n which I've been probing this question\, in an attempt to begin to identi
 fy the factors that underpin this complex relationship between music and a
 utobiographical memories.\nSpeakers:\nDr Kelly Jakubowski (Durham Universi
