Where I'll be speaking over the Summer

Forthcoming conference presentations

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, things have been very busy lately. However I thought I'd give you all some information about where I'll be presenting my PhD work  let you all know about which conferences I'll be presenting my PhD work:

July 2012

In a few weeks I'll be presenting at the Joint Conference: 12th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition; 8th Triennial Conference of the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music.  The conference will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece from 23rd July to 28th July.  My paper is titled The influence of music tempo on gambling: The role of arousal and will report the preliminary findings of my latest experimental work which I have been conducting over the last few months at The University of Sheffield, Music Department.  I am very excited to present my work at this conference as it is the first international conference that I will attend and the first presentation of an aspect of my PhD work.  For more information about the conference go to http://icmpc-escom2012.web.auth.gr/?q=welcome 

September 2012

Later in the year I will be presenting the same paper, but with more Results information as a Research Rush at the SEMPRE 40th Anniversary Conference, which is being held on 14th - 15th September in London, United Kingdom.  Again I am really excited about presenting my work and am looking forward to presenting my work in a different way - with no visual aids and my talk can last no longer than 5 minutes! I'll let you know how I get on!  The conference programme can be found at http://www.sempre.org.uk/resources/40_programme.pdf and more general information is available at http://www.sempre.org.uk/conferences.html#40th

Here's to a busy Summer!

All the best,

Steph.
