22What Happens After a Neural Implant Study? Neuroethics Expert Workshop on Post-Trial ObligationsNeuroethics 17 (2): 1-14. 2024.What happens at the end of a clinical trial for an investigational neural implant? It may be surprising to learn how difficult it is to answer this question. While new trials are initiated with increasing regularity, relatively little consensus exists on how best to conduct them, and even less on how to ethically end them. The landscape of recent neural implant trials demonstrates wide variability of what happens to research participants after an neural implant trial ends. Some former research p…Read more

836Improvisation and the self-organization of multiple musical bodiesFrontiers in Psychology 6 1-9. 2015.Understanding everyday behavior relies heavily upon understanding our ability to improvise, how we are able to continuously anticipate and adapt in order to coordinate with our environment and others. Here we consider the ability of musicians to improvise, where they must spontaneously coordinate their actions with co-performers in order to produce novel musical expressions.

67Creating Time: Social Collaboration in Music ImprovisationTopics in Cognitive Science 10 (1): 95-119. 2018.Musical improvisation is a natural case of human pattern formation, and Walton and colleagues investigate the way that different contextual constraints affect patterns of improvisation and their aesthetic quality. The authors find that coordination patterns are more diversified between two musicians when the musical space in which to improvise is relatively more constrained. They also find that listeners experience more diversified, complementary patterns between musicians as more enjoyable and …Read more
