In our lab we study the development of human musicality. Specifically, we want to know how our reactions to and engagement with music develop and are shaped by the structure of the auditory system and our culture-specific listening experiences. We also want to know how musicality influences and is influenced by development in other domains such as language and emotion. 
 

By studying how infants, children, and adults respond to and understand music, we hope to answer fundamental questions about our musical nature. We are actively recruiting children from 3 months to 15 years of age to participate in our studies.
