The LAMA lab had a terrific time at Society for Music Perception and Cognition in Chicago this year. A highlight for us was the ARE committee’s panel on who gets to participate in music - focusing on how to incorporate the voices of children and adults from under represented backgrounds in music science

Lots of Canadian researchers here at the conference! Here is U of T Scarborough (UTSC) 🇨🇦’s Dr Schmuckler talking about how humans perceive pitch even when it’s missing!

40+ posters/talks from Canada - love the business meeting stats

Always karaoke

And more karaoke!

And of course, fascinating work from our graduate student PhD candidate Anne Cabildo asking how people engage with music in their everyday lives. Not pictured: our postdoc Dr Czepiel presenting her classroom hyperscanning data online and many other LAMA lab members who tuned in online! See you next time Society for Music Perception and Cognition !
