I'm presenting at MoLA (Meeting on Language in Autism) today on pragmatic profiles of autistic and non-autistic women. If you're interested in learning more, you can visit me at Poster #20 at 2:30pm!

Come join us!

Are neural responses to beat influenced by over-exposure to musical rhythm? We plan to find out. Check out our stage1 registered report Effects of Learning on Neural Representations of Rhythm and Beat osf.io/uz6ce/ Center for Open Science. Or see our poster at #TRF3! TimingResearchForum

Because it's that time of year again, I thought I might share some thoughts about demystifying the grad school applications process in case you so someone you know might find them helpful. nissl.ca/post/demystify…

My time at UniOslo_RITMO is almost coming to an end so had to commemorate it with a little cross stitch turned ornament

If you are interested in a postdoc with our group at Western University please reach out about applying to this exciting opportunity! Happy to sit down and chat at ARO if you'll be there. uwo.ca/research/fundi…

Work from my MacEwan University undergrad honours thesis is now out with Katie Corrigall! So nice to finally see it published :)

Episode 453: Synchronize & Groove: A Three-Part Story Hosts Anthony and Carly speak with Riya Sidhu, a PhD candidate in psychology specializing in music cognition. Riya explains the three different projects she's working on. Listen at: linktr.ee/gradcastradio

Exciting postdoc opening in Jessica Grahn (Jessica Grahn's) lab at Western University in Ontario! "Neuroimaging and possibly neuropsychological patient investigations of rhythm, timing, and music." More information at jessicagrahn.com/postdoctoral-p…

I just realized that I was so busy on Monday that I forgot to make a donation to Kamala Harris during the call, so... I'll join in on the trend: I will donate $.10 for every like on this tweet, $0.50 for every retweet, and $1 for every follow. (30,757 followers at the start)

Another successful (and active!) outreach activity for Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS) at the Centre for Brain and Mind (Western Centre for Brain and Mind). Thank you Sarah Park Riya Sidhu Marina Emerick and Caitlin Fitzpatrick!

A great event to host, all the girls were engaged, curious, and willing to dance with us! We learned how music can affect movement areas in the brain and how this can be beneficial (and fun) for people with Parkinson’s. Highly recommend hosting an event for Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS)! 👩🏻‍🔬

PhD candidate Riya Sidhu gets the credit for this study showing that nostalgia pushes our dance buttons in a special way. "Nostalgic Tunes Trigger Stronger Urge to Dance Than Familiar Hits" neurosciencenews.com/nostalgia-musi… via @neurosciencenew

In a new study led by Western University researchers, nostalgia was found to be a powerful predictor of how much a song makes us want to tap, move or dance. tinyurl.com/msp87xyz #ldnont

Why we dance to TiK ToK🎶 Western’s Dr. Jessica Grahn & PhD student Riya Sidhu have found that familiarity with nostalgic music boosts our urge to move and dance. 🧠Groove science: news.westernu.ca/2025/06/nostal……#WesternU #Neuroscience #MusicTherapy #Nostalgia #GrooveStudy Jessica Grahn

I think 15-year-old me would think I'm really cool 😎

every time I’m debating doing something nice for someone else that doesn’t benefit me directly I think “would it make me really happy if someone did that for me” and I pretty much let that answer do the talking

Really precise coverage of our nostalgia and groove paper!

Got head-hunted today by email. This is when I know that AI might have to get a little more sophisticated, or else someone is trying to tell me something important
