Had a lovely time presenting my new task for assessing both pitch and rhythm musical imagery concurrently using naturalistic stimuli yesterday at #ICMPC18 @musicpsychologylab.bsky.social

White woman in her twenties stands to the left of a projected presentation. She is wearing a navy blue and white spotted dress with green vans, has a half sleeve of flowers tattooed on her left arm, and has half blue half blonde hair and glasses. She holds a microphone in one hand and a tablet and clicker in the other. The projected screen is white, with text reading ‘literature background. 1) stimuli. 2) focus specificity’
