  >How does her research differ from other music scientists'? It gets grants more easily and looks good to the kind of people that matter when featured on university PR releases.

  Apparently, it's a methodology. While I'm not delving into that, I notice that only one paper addresses feminism, and the others all look gender-neutral on the surface, and appear to be strongly focused on aging. My own experience is that music recognition increases with (my) age, and I've come close to perfect pitch, contrary to some studies I recall (not as well as the music). With the exception of some wildly overplayed pieces (IMO!!) which seem immensely popular, I can hear others over and over. I suspect it's either the depth, lyricism, vivid emotion, internal complexity, or stunning perfection in simplicity (a la Mozart) Someone posted a Ukranian hymn, which I recognized as a movement from a Brahms symphony. My observations only. YMMV. Music keeps me feeling young.
