This episode of one of my favourite science communicators @hankgreen.bsky.social has a lot of the questions I would ask students in an intro to music cognition class. It's so exciting to see how *everyone* has these questions about music, its evolution and its relationship to language.

"I’ll help you," said Horton. “But who are you? Where?”
He looked and he looked. He could see nothing there
But a small speck of dust blowing past through the air.

time-frequency representation of human electrocorticography data. 🌊
one axis shows frequency, the other time. the high peaks correspond to a prominent alpha rhythm at 10 Hz which appears and subsides during the experiment.

Historical linguistics! I was reading about ancient Greek evolution, linear B in high school. Then read The Language Instinct and knew what I wanted to study in undergrad. Also, I should have known that working on syntactic analysis of ancient Greek in high school was actually doing *syntax*.
Do you remember how you found out that linguistics existed and was a thing you could get enthusiastic about?

Even psychologists get amazed when non-human animals can do things that are essential to survival (and thus NOT surprising!), like categorizing stimuli.
Our error? Humans truly overestimate our uniqueness in animal kingdom.
