Jakubowski, K., Eerola, T., Alborno, P., Volpe, G., Camurri, A., & Clayton, M. (2017). Extracting Coarse Body Movements from Video in Music Performance: A Comparison of Automated Computer Vision Techniques with Motion Capture Data. Frontiers in digital humanities, 4, Article 9. https://doi.org/10.3389/fdigh.2017.00009

The measurement and tracking of body movement within musical performances can provide valuable sources of data for studying interpersonal interaction and coordination between musicians. The continued development of tools to extract such data from vid...

A development study of latent absolute pitch memory. (2017)
Journal Article
Jakubowski, K., Mullensiefen, D., & Stewart, L. (2017). A development study of latent absolute pitch memory. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 70(3), 434-443. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2015.1131726

The ability to recall the absolute pitch level of familiar music (latent absolute pitch memory) is widespread in adults, in contrast to the rare ability to label single pitches without a reference tone (overt absolute pitch memory). The present resea... Read More about A development study of latent absolute pitch memory..

Probing imagined tempo for music: Effects of motor engagement and musical experience. (2016)
Journal Article
Jakubowski, K., Farrugia, N., & Stewart, L. (2016). Probing imagined tempo for music: Effects of motor engagement and musical experience. Psychology of Music, 44(6), 1274-1288. https://doi.org/10.1177/0305735615625791

Both musically trained and untrained adults can reproduce the tempo of familiar music with high precision. However, conflicting evidence exists as to how well representations of tempo are preserved within musical imagery. The present study investigat...

Dissecting an earworm: Melodic features and song popularity predict involuntary musical imagery (2016)
Journal Article
Jakubowski, K., Finkel, S., Stewart, L., & Müllensiefen, D. (2016). Dissecting an earworm: Melodic features and song popularity predict involuntary musical imagery. Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, 3, 122-135. https://doi.org/10.1037/aca0000090

Involuntary musical imagery (INMI or “earworms”)—the spontaneous recall and repeating of a tune in one’s mind—can be attributed to a wide range of triggers, including memory associations and recent musical exposure. The present study examined whether... Read More about Dissecting an earworm: Melodic features and song popularity predict involuntary musical imagery.

Catching earworms on Twitter: Using big data to study involuntary imagery. (2015)
Journal Article

In recent years, so-called big data research has become a hot topic in the social sciences. This paper explores the possibilities of big data-based research within the field of music psychology. We illustrate one methodological approach by studying i... Read More about Catching earworms on Twitter: Using big data to study involuntary imagery..

The speed of our mental soundtracks: Tracking the tempo of involuntary musical imagery in everyday life (2015)
Journal Article
Jakubowski, K., Farrugia, N., Halpern, A., Sankarpandi, S., & Stewart, L. (2015). The speed of our mental soundtracks: Tracking the tempo of involuntary musical imagery in everyday life. Memory and Cognition, 43(8), 1229-1242. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13421-015-0531-5

The study of spontaneous and everyday cognitions is an area of rapidly growing interest. One of the most ubiquitous forms of spontaneous cognition is involuntary musical imagery (INMI), the involuntarily retrieved and repetitive mental replay of musi...

Tunes stuck in your brain: The frequency and affective evaluation of involuntary musical imagery correlate with cortical structure (2015)
Journal Article

Recent years have seen a growing interest in the neuroscience of spontaneous cognition. One form of such cognition is involuntary musical imagery (INMI), the non-pathological and everyday experience of having music in one’s head, in the absence of an...

The effect on exercise-induced arousal on preferred tempo for familiar melodies (2015)
Journal Article

Many previous studies have shown that arousal affects time perception, suggesting a direct influence of arousal on the speed of the pacemaker of the internal clock. However, it is unknown whether arousal influences the mental representation of tempo... Read More about The effect on exercise-induced arousal on preferred tempo for familiar melodies.

Earworms. (2014)
