Ana Lucia Louro and Teresa Mateiro show how graduate student diaries have a "double position" in being a mirror (formative device) and a window (source of understanding).
+ identity, emotion, relationships interact in their formation.

Caroline Owen demonstrates that children as young as five articulate/interpret musical experiences with incredible depth -- with multiple layers of inward introspection/description/reflection, outward reflection on others/the world, and a blend or blurring of both.

Hazel Van Der Walle demonstrates the richness obtained through a qualitative+co-occurence network approach to understanding mental content during music listening.
resulting in a really cool consideration of the narrative, referential, and experiential components.

great to hear from @spooky-kat.bsky.social on young adults using scary music (self-selected) to make sense of what fear might mean in their everyday lives.

neat to see drawing on the @mupsych.bsky.social dataset to explore music and sleep.
data showing people listen to a RANGE of music and not necessarily that which is on "sleep playlists"

Delighted to be here at the Uni of Jyvaskyla for #musiconnex - after a welcome from Suvi Saarikallio, it was over to Katrina McFerrin for an excellent, thought-provoking, and entertaining keynote. What a great start!! #phdlife #musicscience #conference #psychscisky

#musicconnex theory and measurement session kicked off by @kirtsconnor.bsky.social to highlight the importance of context and situation for emotions in music. #musicscience

Thought provoking keynote from Katrina McFerran, who's deliberately thinking about 'choosing' rather than 'using' music
& advocating for (1) the consideration of intuitive and intellectual choice and (2) digging deeper into what 'participant-chosen' 'preferred' music is
