New face at MIB: Tomas Matthews

MIB is thrilled to welcome new postdoc.

22.09.2021 | Hella Kastbjerg

Tomas Matthews recently completed his PhD in Psychology at Concordia University in Montreal under the supervision of Dr. Virginia Penhune and in collaboration with Dr. Maria Witek and Prof. Peter Vuust.

Tomas’ research is focused on how the rhythmic, and thus predictable, nature of music (and speech) can facilitate communication, drive us to move, and bring us pleasure.

During his postdoc, Tomas hopes to expand on his work investigating the pleasurable urge to move to music, known as groove, while also gaining experience with the use of computational methods, EEG, and MEG.
