Poster from the Music, Mind & Machine Launch

Hi everyone,

Following on from the Music, Mind & Machine Launch Event on Tuesday, here is a photograph of the poster which I created for the event.  It provides information about the three studies which I have carried out so far to investigate my PhD topic - The presence, experience and influence of music in gambling situations.

The launch event went really well, I would guess that there were about 60 people in attendance and about 25 of them came to have a look at my demonstration which was great!

The keynote speech by Dr. Luke Windsor (University of Leeds) also led me to think about movement and music, the relationships between AI and music, and it was just great to listen to him talk about music psychology. Luke was one of the lecturers at Leeds when I was doing my undergraduate degree and introduced me to all things Music Psychology, so it was great to catch-up with him.

Will post again soon!

Regards,

Steph

Today: Music, Mind and Machine Event

Hello Today I am giving a demonstration of my experiment at the Music, Mind and Machine Launch Event at The University of Sheffield. This experiment investigates whether arousal is responsible for music tempo's effects on betting speed in virtual roulette. Fingers crossed for a problem-free and engaging demonstration! I am also presenting a poster which gives details of all of the studies I have carried out during my PhD so far. Today will be the first time that I have disseminated this information to the research community so I am both excited and nervous! I'm looking forward to sharing ideas and receiving comments from fellow researchers. To see who else is presenting today, have a look at the Event Programme: http://www.shef.ac.uk/polopoly_fs/1.227315!/file/MMMBooklet.pdf The information about my contributions to the event can be found on pages 12 & 21.
