Samuel Mehr is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) and an Associate Professor Adjunct in the Child Study Center at Yale University (New Haven). He directs The Music Lab, an international research group working on auditory perception; the psychology of music, speech, and sound; and gamified citizen science. Mehr’s work draws on ideas and tools from cognitive and developmental psychology, data science, and evolutionary anthropology, to ask fundamental questions about the design of the human mind that span across basic science and biomedical research.

The Music Lab was established in 2017 at Harvard University’s Department of Psychology, with funding from the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award and the Harvard Data Science Initiative. In addition to traditional experimental work in cognitive and developmental science, the lab specializes in large-scale citizen-science experiments.
