Two Ursinus College students presented original research at the Society for Music Perception and Cognition (SMPC) national conference this July 🎶
Nico Yanzaguano '26 presented "Sounds Good Feels Good: Measuring Music and Emotion Perception in College Students," an eye-tracking and neuroimaging study on how cymbal timbre shapes listeners' emotional responses, developed with faculty mentors Rosa Abrahams, Joel Bish and Leslie New.
Sophia Kumar '26 presented research examining whether expressive writing can reduce post-performance rumination in musicians experiencing performance anxiety.
Yanzaguano was also selected for SMPC's pre-conference workshop on music cognition methodologies — the only undergraduate accepted among scholars at every career stage, reflecting Ursinus's emphasis on undergraduate research through its APEX program.
