Have you ever wondered why people enjoy music? Or whether everyone can dance? And what are the potential benefits of music for humans? Can music be used to make us happier, more social, or even smarter? In our lab, based at the Cognitive Psychology Unit of Leiden University, we aim to answer questions like these and many more! We are fascinated by the human mind, and we love music. We use behavioural research, computational models, and methods like physiological recordings, EEG and fMRI, the latter using the 3T scanner at the LIBC in Leiden, to investigate how music works in the brain, and how this translates to behaviour in all its facets.
