manipulated recordings of the spoken word, after his keynote speech to th... Read More about Tools for fashioning voices : an interview with Trevor Wishart.

Towards human-computer music interaction : evaluation of an affectively-driven music generator via galvanic skin response measures
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An affectively driven music generation system is described and evaluated. The system is developed for the intended eventual use in human-computer interaction systems such as brain-computer music interfaces. It is evaluated for its ability to induce c...

Identifying music-induced emotions from EEG for use in brain-computer music interfacing
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Brain-computer music interfaces (BCMI) provide a method to modulate an individuals affective state via the selection or generation of music according to their current affective state. Potential applications of such systems may include entertainment o... Read More about Identifying music-induced emotions from EEG for use in brain-computer music interfacing.

Music-induced emotions can be predicted from a combination of brain activity and acoustic features
Journal Article

It is widely acknowledged that music can communicate and induce a wide range of emotions in the listener. However, music is a highly-complex audio signal composed of a wide range of complex time- and frequency-varying components. Additionally, music-...

Neural correlates of environmental noise soundscapes : an EEG study
Presentation / Conference
Williams, D., Thomas, A., Allen, C., Cox, B., & Clark, C. Neural correlates of environmental noise soundscapes : an EEG study. Presented at 27th International Congress on Sound and Vibration, Prague, Czech Republic

Environmental noise has documented effects on productivity in the workplace, and suggested impacts on health
and wellbeing. However, there remains a gap in knowledge in determining whether there are neural markers for
these effects that might be us... Read More about Neural correlates of environmental noise soundscapes : an EEG study.

Neuro-curation : a case study on the use of sonic enhancement of virtual museum exhibits
Presentation / Conference
Williams, D., Daly, I., Al-Taie, I., Di Giuseppantonio Di Franco, P., & Tymkiw, M. Neuro-curation : a case study on the use of sonic enhancement of virtual museum exhibits. Presented at AM '21: Audio Mostly 2021, Virtual/Trento Italy

For the past several years, museums have widely embraced virtual exhibits—certainly before COVID-19, but especially after the virus's outbreak, which has required cultural institutions to temporarily close their physical sites to audiences. Indeed, e... Read More about Neuro-curation : a case study on the use of sonic enhancement of virtual museum exhibits.
