Musical performance
Musical experiences often provide sensations of affect and pleasure, but they are often mixed with sensations of sound-producing and sound-accompanying body motion.
This project aims to enhance our understanding of the?effort, both physical and mental, and the attention involved in the production and perception of music-related sound and other music-related multimodal phenomena.
Processing body motion data
To develop our understanding of effort and attention, we conduct studies of activities in both every day and more experimental situations. This is done using state-of-the-art motion capture and psychophysiological seeing technologies in our labs. The aim is to detect and document the effort and attention involved in both the production and perception of music.
Final goal
Besides contributing to our basic understanding of music, this project will result in useful insights on various musical skills with applications in musical creativity and music education.
