As Professor in the Center for Music in the Brain and the Department of Clinical Medicine, I research the brain bases of musical behavior. My work addresses how brain structure and function are linked to skilled performance and musical interaction in controlled laboratory experiments and naturalistic musical settings. Applications span music education, human-machine interaction, and the evaluation of clinical conditions that impair movement fluency and social functioning.
My primary area of responsibility is to lead the research stream on musical interaction in the Center for Music in the Brain. In addition to supervision of research students, I contribute to teaching in the topic areas of neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science.
