This chapter addresses the design of a full credit remote access module as part of an undergraduate degree course in music technology with a particular focus on sound recording technology at a public university in Texas. It focuses on appropriate cur... Read More about Designing vocational training for audio engineers at a distance : challenges, reflections, and recommendations.

“Hello Computer, how am I feeling?”, case studies of neural technology to measure emotions (2020)
Book Chapter
Daly, I., & Williams, D. (2020). “Hello Computer, how am I feeling?”, case studies of neural technology to measure emotions. In C. Nam (Ed.), Neuroergonomics (193-219). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-34784-0_11

Emotion is a core part of the human experience. Many artistic and creative applications attempt to produce particular emotional experiences, for example, films, games, music, dance, and other visual arts. However, while emotional states are ubiquitou... Read More about “Hello Computer, how am I feeling?”, case studies of neural technology to measure emotions.

Electroencephalography reflects the activity of sub-cortical brain regions during approach-withdrawal behaviour while listening to music (2019)
Journal Article
Daly, I., Williams, D., Hwang, F., Kirke, A., Miranda, E., & Nasuto, S. (2019). Electroencephalography reflects the activity of sub-cortical brain regions during approach-withdrawal behaviour while listening to music. Scientific reports, 9(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-45105-2

The ability of music to evoke activity changes in the core brain structures that underlie the experience of emotion suggests that it has the potential to be used in therapies for emotion disorders. A large volume of research has identified a network...

Evaluating BCI for musical expression : historical approaches, challenges and benefits (2019)
Book Chapter
Williams, D. (2019). Evaluating BCI for musical expression : historical approaches, challenges and benefits. In A. Nijholt (Ed.), Brain Art (145-158). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-14323-7_5

A recurring challenge in the use of BCI (and more generally HCI) for musical expression is in the design and conduct of appropriate evaluation strategies when considering BCI systems for music composition or performance. Assessing the value of comput... Read More about Evaluating BCI for musical expression : historical approaches, challenges and benefits.
