Musicality - Tuned to the melody of vocal emotions
Br J Psychol. 2023 Oct 18. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12684. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMusicians outperform non-musicians in vocal emotion perception, likely because of increased sensitivity to acoustic cues, such as fundamental frequency (F0) and timbre. Yet, how musicians make use of these acoustic cues to perceive emotions, and how they might differ from non-musicians, is unclear. To address these points, we created vocal stimuli that conveyed happiness, fear, pleasure or sadness, either in all acoustic cues, or selectively in either F0 or timbre only. We then compared vocal emotion perception performance between professiona...

Self as a prior: The malleability of Bayesian multisensory integration to social salience
Br J Psychol. 2023 Sep 25. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12683. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOur everyday perceptual experiences are grounded in the integration of information within and across our senses. Due to this direct behavioural relevance, cross-modal integration retains a certain degree of contextual flexibility, even to social relevance. However, how social relevance modulates cross-modal integration remains unclear. To investigate possible mechanisms, Experiment 1 tested the principles of audio-visual integration for numerosity estimation by deriving a Bayesian optimal observer model with perceptual prior from empirical da...
