New preprint up describing our planned #RegisteredReport Stage 1 protocol building on @Many_Voices_ 1. In Many Voices 2, we aim to collect data from 1,500 people around the world singing/speaking in groups to directly test the social bonding hypothesis https://t.co/t0RDAy7cOI
Our "Many Voices" 75-author collaboration led by @YutoOzaki1 finding global regularities in music-speech relationships is now out on the cover of @ScienceAdvances: https://t.co/5WHZiNt4hQ Full video of 18 coauthors singing/speaking in our own languages at https://t.co/XvxdgT2PEP

How do we distinguish between music & speech? Using judgments on artificial ambiguous noise clips, @candrew123 @davidpoeppel &co show that our #auditory system relies on basic acoustic parameters like amplitude modulation rates & regularities #PLOSBiology

Tone-language and non-tone-language speakers show several similarities in an auditory illusion where certain spoken phrases, when looped, start to sound like singing, suggesting consistencies in how human minds distinguish speech and song https://t.co/dUwnNfaMmL

hello? is anyone still on here? if so, check out a fun project I did with @ilizabutera and team on the speech-to-song illusion in cochlear implant users! #musicscience

The speech-to-song illusion is a robust effect where repeated speech induces the perception of singing; this effect has been extended to repeated excerpts of environmental sounds (sound-to-music ef...
