Pauline Larrouy-Maestri is a Senior Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, where she has been working since 2019 after serving as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Neuroscience Department from 2014-2019. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on how humans categorize acoustic information that unfolds over time to make sense of sounds, working at the intersection of music, speech, and neuroscience. Dr. Larrouy-Maestri holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Liège (2009-2013) and has an unusually diverse educational background including a Bachelor in Music (Piano) from the Royal Conservatory of Mons, a Master in Speech Therapy from the University of Brussels, additional studies in Psychology, Pedagogy, and Music Therapy, and research stays at McGill University and SUNY Buffalo. This multidisciplinary foundation informs her unique approach to studying sound perception. Her research examines how we process ambiguous auditory material that sits at the boundaries between music and speech categories, such as sprechgesang and West-African talking drums. She investigates auditory sequence processing in music, particularly how continuous streams of sound are parsed into meaningful units, and has made significant contributions to understanding the perception of correctness in singing. Her work on vocal communication explores how pitch, timing, and other acoustic features contribute to our interpretation of emotional content and meaning in both music and speech. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a sophisticated integration of behavioral, electrophysiological, and computational approaches to study music-speech interactions, with growing emphasis on cross-cultural perspectives, individual differences, and neural mechanisms. Her work increasingly examines how subtle acoustic variations influence aesthetic judgments and emotional responses to vocalizations. 2023: €20,000 research scholarship for "Humanity of Speech" project 2017: Selected for "Sign Up!
