As a local student, Signe graduated from Aarhus University as Master of Arts (MA) in Musicology and Psychology in December 2016, where she also completed her Bachelor's degree in 2014. Her Master's thesis was on rhythm and meter and its anchorage in the body and received top grade.

The thesis included a behavioural study on rhythm and coordination that revealed a hierarchical relationship between different limbs (hands, feet and mouth), which will be the foundation of her PhD project. Using fMRI and MEG she plans to study how this relationship relates to the brain's processing of rhythm and meter, and how it can be affected with musical training.

Coming from a humanistic background, she is looking forward to taking part in the interdisciplinary research environment at MIB in order to combine her interest in the neuroscientific methods with theoretical musicology.

Signe has been around MIB for a while as personal assistant to Peter Vuust and research assistant to Cecilie Møller. Peter Vuust will now be her main supervisor with Steen Kaargard Nielsen from the Department of Musicology at Aarhus University as co-supervisor. Her project is co-funded by the Faculty of Arts at Aarhus University and Center for Music In the Brain.
