The PsychoMUSE Lab investigates early vocal communication and communicative musicality in typical development, with a particular emphasis on parent–infant early interaction. Drawing on developmental psychology, music cognition, and sound analysis, the lab examines how rhythm, timing, prosody, and turn-taking emerge through everyday vocal exchanges. Using acoustic, behavioral, and interactional methods, this line of research explores how early vocal play and musicality support social bonding, emotional regulation, and the foundations of language and communication.
A core strand of PsychoMUSE Lab research centers on neurodiverse developmental trajectories, approaching communication differences through inclusive, strengths-based frameworks. This work examines how vocal communication, musicality, and interactional timing may follow diverse pathways across neurodevelopmental profiles. By integrating acoustic analysis with participatory and context-sensitive methodologies, we aim to better understand variability in communicative expression while contributing to ethical, non-pathologizing models of neurodiversity in early development.
