Keating renewed her previous call for streaming services to share more data with musicians, as well as forging more links to other startups that help artists to connect directly with fans.
The platform also allows musicians to export sales data and connect their account to PayPal in order to receive payments directly from fans.
Finally, consistent with the idea of training-induced structural reorganization in the adult brain [13], we then conducted a voxel-based morphometry (VBM) investigation, taking exclusively into account the areas pinpointed when comparing the fMRI data of musicians and nonmusicians, to examine the influence of the musical expertise on structural plasticity.
The behavioural data revealed that musicians performed better than non-musicians in the WM tasks, although the two groups rated the difficulty level of the tasks similarly.
(Musician Zoë Keating releases her data regularly).
So the pair have linked up with Tim Gane, a member of the English pop band Stereolab, to help turn the data into something musicians can work with.
In their study, the scientists compiled data on 1,046 musicians who had a No. 1 album on the British charts from 1956 to 2007.
The goal is to track the online buzz for musicians, and to use that data to create a daily ranking (powered by startup The Echo Nest) that helps fans find new music.
