On performance and perceived effort in trail runners using sensor control to generate biosynchronous music (2020)
Journal Article
Williams, D., Fazenda, B., Williamson, V., & Fazekas, G. (2020). On performance and perceived effort in trail runners using sensor control to generate biosynchronous music. Sensors, 20(16), e4528. https://doi.org/10.3390/s20164528

Music has been shown to be capable of improving runners’ performance in treadmill and laboratory-based experiments. This paper evaluates a generative music system, namely HEARTBEATS, designed to create biosignal synchronous music in real-time accordi...

Neural and physiological data from participants listening to affective music (2020)
Journal Article
Daly, I., Nicolaou, N., Williams, D., Hwang, F., Kirke, A., Miranda, E., & Nasuto, S. (2020). Neural and physiological data from participants listening to affective music. Scientific Data, 7(1), 177. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-020-0507-6

Music provides a means of communicating affective meaning. However, the neurological mechanisms by which music induces affect are not fully understood. Our project sought to investigate this through a series of experiments into how humans react to af... Read More about Neural and physiological data from participants listening to affective music.

“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.
