Thoughts on ICMPC-ESCOM

Hello Well I'm still here in Thessaloniki, enjoying an iced coffee overlooking the gulf and reflecting on my time at ICMPC-ESCOM. This has been my first international conference and I have relished the time spent discussing music psychology research with fellow researchers. My presentation on Thursday went extremely well and the questions from the audience focused on the stimuli which I had employed as I had expected. I will be leaving Greece tomorrow with many ideas for extending my research which have been triggered by viewing posters and listening to papers. My ideas include: investigating the soundscape of a gambling environment Using Mediation Analysis to analyse my quantitative data Using different strategies to group my data for analysis Another blog that you may be interested in - have a look at http://www.researchaboutlistening.com. Amanda the author is currently en route to Australia to continue her doctorate with Adrian North. There is some really interesting research being conducted in Scotland by a team including Gianna Cassidy about the use of music-based computer games in education. Okay, time for dinner and to pack ahead of my return to the UK. Steph
