Erin Hannon and I wrote a short commentary on Nori Jacoby et al.'s fantastic paper on people's rhythmic reproduction tendencies in a bunch of different parts of the world and sub-populations in those places.
Our online study about #misophonia, #ASMR, musical #chills aka #frisson, and #musicality reactions in the general population is now accepted for a special issue at Phil Trans B on "Sensing and Feeling"! Thanks especially to editors Hirohito Kondo and Brian Moore for putting together such an exciting topic!
See link for updated pre-print on OSF.
We found a lot of things but here a few highlights:
Misophonia reactions to videos seem to be pretty common, even in people who wouldn't be diagnosed with "misophonia" The Disorder.
People who have a lot misophonia reactions to videos also have a lot of ASMR and chills reactions.
A self-report measure of general musicality does not correlate with misophonia, ASMR, or chills reactions. But stay tuned because we're doing an in person study now with both adults and kids using a wider set of music perception tasks.
We are hiring a permanent Associate Professor in Interdisciplinary Rhythm Research at the Department of Musicology, University of Oslo. #academicjobs#musicscience
