Abstract: We consider the Birman-Hilden inclusion $varphicolonmathfrak{Br}_{2g+1}oGamm{a}_{g,1}$ of the braid group into the mapping class group of an orientable surface with boundary, and prove that $varphi$ is stably trivial in homology with twisted coefficients in the symplectic representation $H_1(Sigm{a}_{g,1})$ of the mapping class group; this generalises a result of Song and Tillmann regarding homology with constant coefficients. Furthermore we show that the stable homology of the braid group with coefficients in $varph{i}^{\ast }(H_1(Sigm{a}_{g,1}))$ has only $4$-torsion.
