I got to visit Aarhus University in Denmark yesterday to give a talk and discuss my research at the Center for #MusicInTheBrain. My first time visiting an institute for a talk since COVID. I presented research on how to adjust our strategies of us AI to explain rather than predict neural activity in musical sewuences. Mapping oscillators to Bayesian models in temporal prediction and how predictions play an important role in audiograms.

I got to have long discussions ranging from the purpose of mental illness in music development, the feeling of groove in parkinson's and cross frequency coupling in interpersonal synchronization. Very nice to be at a center dedicated to music neuroscience and see all the varied ways it can be studied.

And at the end I got to catch the last days of the Groove Workshop, seeing really good talks by @joncannon_neuro, Ed Large and Benjamin Morillon over a pizza and beer.

Thanks to Peter Keller for the invitation and an amazing day! I hope I get invited again soon!

"In Dreams" by #RoyOrbison

» ...
In dreams, I talk to you
In dreams, you're mine all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye

It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams «

By way of #introduction, I've been a recording engineer, a music technology specialist, a magazine writer and a digital designer.

I'm writing a book for music lovers, about how we get our music preferences, why our preferences differ, whether we can change them... that sort of thing.

I sing with Crouch End Festival Chorus.
