Dr. Camila Bruder is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in the Department of Music, where she has been working since completing her PhD in 2025. Her research focuses on aesthetic preferences, music cognition and perception, and singing performance, with particular expertise in voice preferences and the relationship between music and language. Dr. Bruder's educational background spans multiple disciplines, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to music research. She holds a Dr. phil. from Freiburg University of Music (2025), a Master of Arts in Systematic Musicology from Universität Hamburg (2014-2018), a Bachelor's degree in Music - Singing from the State University of Sao Paulo (2009-2013), a Master of Sciences in Human Physiology from the University of Sao Paulo (2005-2007), and a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of Sao Paulo (2000-2004). Her research examines how humans categorize acoustic information, particularly focusing on the boundaries between music and speech, and investigating the factors that influence singing voice preferences. She has developed innovative methodologies for measuring individual differences in aesthetic judgment of voices, demonstrating that appreciation of singing and speaking voices is highly idiosyncratic. Her work bridges empirical aesthetics, cognitive psychology, and musicology, with a particular emphasis on both perceptual and acoustic features of vocal expression. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on voice perception across multiple contexts - from singing performance to lullabies to synthetic voices. Her research shows that perceptual features (rather than purely acoustic measurements) better predict singing voice preferences, and that classical singers demonstrate proficiency across multiple singing styles. She has also contributed to large-scale cross-cultural research on universal features of music and speech. Degree completion grant from Universität Hamburg (2017/2018) Forumpreis für hervorragende Hausarbeit from Forum Musikwissenschaft an der Universität Hamburg (2018) Music Department's Award of Excellence for Bachelor Thesis in Music (2013) Research scholarship from CAPES, Brazil (2006-2007) Dr. Bruder has developed the CoVox dataset of contrasting vocalizations, which provides valuable resources for researchers studying voice perception across genres and contexts. Her work on lullaby vocal qualities contributes to developmental psychology and cross-cultural studies of infant-directed communication. She collaborates extensively with researchers across disciplines, including prominent figures like David Poeppel and Patrick Larrouy-Maestri.
