Collaborations
& media.

Contact us to work on a research project, ask for expert input, or discuss an interview or article.

We study how people think and learn, especially how we understand speech, enjoy music and follow a rhythm. We ask how experience shapes what we hear and how we respond—for example, keeping up with a conversation or moving to music. We study people’s listening and actions, measure brain activity, and use computers to test ideas about how the mind works.

Research & expert input

We can discuss how to turn your question into a study, what to measure and what the results might mean.
