Congratulations to School of Education alum Obadiah Baker, EdD '23, who was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue his project titled “Synsoma Composition: Embodied Pathways in Music” at Bar-Ilan University, Israel.

His project integrates music composition with affective neuroscience and embodied cognition, exploring how breath, pulse, and multisensory lived experience can be translated into musical form. Through an autoethnographic and practice-based research framework, he will develop a new string quartet while collaborating with researchers in psychology to examine how embodied musical processes inform emotional regulation and resilience. The work contributes to artistic research, music cognition, and interdisciplinary dialogue between composition and neuroscience.
