Noah Henry

Noah is a postdoctoral researcher in the Music Cognition Group at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, University of Amsterdam. His research involves investigating the functions of music listening in everyday life, such as how and why listeners come to select the music they do when listening. In addition, Noah is also interested in the ways that a deeper empirical understanding of music selection in everyday life could help curate music listening, for example through Context-Aware Music Recommender Systems. More recently, Noah has become interested in not just how people listen to music in everyday life, but why we as people engage with music in the first place, and the role of musicality in this process. He is currently working on an NWO-OC funded project in collaboration with Prof. Henkjan Honing, Dr. Ashley Burgoyne, and Jiaxin Li to better understand the core cognitive components of musicality.
