Patrick, great question. This study and others showin most cases no music at all (or classical music) shows higher creativity and concentration. However my research shows open far-field speakers have the best results. Headphone culture is killing the workplace and other places.

Instantly read this and your subsequent tweet and thought of the “deep thought UI paradigm” I tweeted about some time back (https://twitter.com/arjwright/status/1073025062230482945 …)... using sound(scapes) to create a space for thoughtful productivity sounds like a branch of your shared work

Ah, great to see fresh research on the topic. I was usually referring to Peopleware, they pointed out that listening to music inhibits ”aha” moments back in the 80s and I was pointing startups to this for years. How many insights did not happen in these 30 years!

It actually crazy when you think about how many breakthroughs did not happen because of horrible office space design and ignorance.

I also believe that private space to be able to concentrate on critical tasks at times is important. Being too accessible means easy distractions and people work differently. I for one HATE being interrupted when I’m “in the zone” I’d rather lock a door

one thing that's not often addressed is what the expectation that a private environment to focus is the exception does for accessibility... makes a wide variety of accomodation requests extra-public and for a number of them creates a prerequisite of exclusion if one dares to ask

I think headphones are more about blocking everything else out that is more distracting. I find classical very helpful while think through a complex problem but that may just be me.
