A New Barrier in the Brain Is Detected Neurons are interconnected and establish special communication points, known as synapses. All neurons require a constant environment in order to function reliably and to ensure this, the brain is surrounded by the blood-brain barrier. Research has now shown that for insects, there is a second barrie...

Hello everyone! Katie Vishwanath is currently conducting a study for her Music Psychology Masters project in which she has created a survey that tests for Pitch Recognition. As long as you are 18 years or older and have around 15 to 30 minutes to spare (this number is the maximum amount of time this survey should take although previous respondents have said that it has taken them around 15-20 minutes), please consider taking this survey and sharing it with anyone else who may be interested.

Calling all babies aged 6 to 19 months!

We are researching how babies perceive and respond to music. More specifically, we are interested to determine how the babies’ response to a particular song changes as they become more familiar with it and whether this depends on whether they learn it by being sung to by a caregiver or from a recording.

In this study, babies are presented with the Happy Song by Imogen Heap and their movements are recorded on days 1 and 7. Each recording session will take no more than 15 minutes including 4 minutes of the baby in a highchair and a short questionnaire that can be completed at a later stage.

Trains in the brain: Scientists uncover switching system used in information processing and memory A team of scientists has uncovered a system in the brain used in the processing of information and in the storing of memories—akin to how railroad switches control a train's destination. The findings offer new insights into how the brain functions.
