Emotional congruence in video game audio

Williams, DAH; Cowling, PI; Murphy, DT

Abstract

Video game audio is more challenging in many regards than traditional linear soundtracking. Soundtracking can enhance the emotional impact of gameplay, but in order to preserve immersion, it is important to have an understanding of the mechanisms at work when listeners respond to audio emotionally.
