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. The Research Centre Website is http://www.shef.ac.uk/music/research/mmm Best wishes, Steph

I have recently completed my PhD titled 'Exploring the presence, experience and influence of background music in gambling situations' at The University of Sheffield. My PhD research was supervised by Prof. Nicola Dibben and Dr. Richard Rowe. Prior to that I gained an MA in Psychology of Music at The University of Sheffield (2009) and completed my first degree in Music at the University of Leeds (2005). I conduct research within the fields of psychology of music and gambling studies.
