  • Beat alignment ability is associated with formal musical training not current music playing 
    Spiech, Connor; Endestad, Tor; Laeng, Bruno; Danielsen, Anne; Haghish, E.F. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    The ability to perceive the beat in music is crucial for both music listeners and players with expert musicians being notably skilled at noticing fine deviations in the beat. However, it is unclear whether this beat ...
  • The effects of cognitive abilities and task demands on tonic and phasic pupil sizes 
    Aminihajibashi, Samira; Hagen, Thomas; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Laeng, Bruno; Espeseth, Thomas (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    Previous studies on individual differences in pupil size of healthy individuals and their relation to performance have been inconclusive. Using a novel approach, we tested the effect of general cognitive abilities and level ...
  • Headphones or Speakers? An Exploratory Study of Their Effects on Spontaneous Body Movement to Rhythmic Music 
    Zelechowska, Agata; Gonzalez-Sanchez, Victor E.; Laeng, Bruno; Jensenius, Alexander Refsum (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    Previous studies have shown that music may lead to spontaneous body movement, even when people try to stand still. But are spontaneous movement responses to music similar if the stimuli are presented using headphones or ...
  • Human voices escape the auditory attentional blink: Evidence from detections and pupil responses 
    Akca, Merve; Bishop, Laura; Vuoskoski, Jonna Katariina; Laeng, Bruno (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Attentional selection of a second target in a rapid stream of stimuli embedding two targets tends to be briefly impaired when two targets are presented in close temporal proximity, an effect known as an attentional blink ...
  • Into the Hive-Mind: Shared Absorption and Cardiac Interrelations in Expert and Student String Quartets 
    Høffding, Simon; Yi, Wenbo; Lippert, Eigil; Gonzalez Sanchez, Victor Evaristo; Bishop, Laura; Laeng, Bruno; Danielsen, Anne; Jensenius, Alexander Refsum; Wallot, Sebastian (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Expert musicians portray awe-inspiring precision, timing, and phrasing and may be thought to partake in a “hive-mind.” Such a shared musical absorption is characterized by a heightened empathic relation, mutual trust, and ...
  • Mental Effort When Playing, Listening, and Imagining Music in One Pianist’s Eyes and Brain. 
    Endestad, Tor; Godøy, Rolf Inge; Sneve, Markus Handal; Hagen, Thomas; Bochynska, Agata Elzbieta; Laeng, Bruno (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    We investigated “musical effort” with an internationally renowned, classical, pianist while playing, listening, and imagining music. We used pupillometry as an objective measure of mental effort and fMRI as an exploratory ...
  • Microtiming and Mental Effort. Onset Asynchronies in Musical Rhythm Modulate Pupil Size 
    Skaansar, Jo Fougner; Laeng, Bruno; Danielsen, Anne (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    The present study tested two assumptions concerning the auditory processing of microtiming in musical grooves (i.e., repeating, movement-inducing rhythmic patterns): 1) Microtiming challenges the listener's internal framework ...
  • Musical and Bodily Predictors of Mental Effort in String Quartet Music: An Ecological Pupillometry Study of Performers and Listeners 
    Bishop, Laura; Jensenius, Alexander Refsum; Laeng, Bruno (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Music performance can be cognitively and physically demanding. These demands vary across the course of a performance as the content of the music changes. More demanding passages require performers to focus their attention ...
  • No Evidence for an Auditory Attentional Blink for Voices Regardless of Musical Expertise 
    Akca, Merve; Laeng, Bruno; Godøy, Rolf Inge (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    Background: Attending to goal-relevant information can leave us metaphorically “blind” or “deaf” to the next relevant information while searching among distracters. This temporal cost lasting for about a half a second on ...
  • Oscillatory attention in groove 
    Spiech, Connor; Danielsen, Anne; Laeng, Bruno; Endestad, Tor (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)
    Attention is not constant but rather fluctuates over time and these attentional fluctuations may prioritize the processing of certain events over others. In music listening, the pleasurable urge to move to music (termed ...
  • Pupil drift rate indexes groove ratings 
    Spiech, Connor; Sioros, George; Endestad, Tor; Danielsen, Anne; Laeng, Bruno (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Abstract Groove, understood as an enjoyable compulsion to move to musical rhythms, typically varies along an inverted U-curve with increasing rhythmic complexity (e.g., syncopation, pickups). Predictive coding accounts ...
  • Recognition of brief sounds in rapid serial auditory presentation 
    Akca, Merve; Vuoskoski, Jonna Katariina; Laeng, Bruno; Bishop, Laura (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Two experiments were conducted to test the role of participant factors (i.e., musical sophistication, working memory capacity) and stimulus factors (i.e., sound duration, timbre) on auditory recognition using a rapid serial ...
  • Who Moves to Music? Empathic Concern Predicts Spontaneous Movement Responses to Rhythm and Music 
    Zelechowska, Agata; Gonzalez Sanchez, Victor Evaristo; Laeng, Bruno; Vuoskoski, Jonna Katariina; Jensenius, Alexander Refsum (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    Moving to music is a universal human phenomenon, and previous studies have shown that people move to music even when they try to stand still. However, are there individual differences when it comes to how much people ...
