Caroline Palmer Honoured with SMPC Lifetime Achievement Award

Congratulations to Caroline Palmer, Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Department of Psychology, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Music Perception and Cognition (SMPC). The award recognizes a career of field-defining research on how and why music moves us. Through her Sequence Production Lab, Professor Palmer has reshaped our understanding of the cognitive and neural basis of musical performance — from how performers coordinate the timing of complex sequences to how ensembles synchronize with one another in real time. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, she joins a distinguished list of honourees recognized for sustained, transformative contributions to the science of music. Please join us in congratulating Professor Palmer on this well-deserved recognition.
