Exploring the Effects of Sonic Augmentation Technology in Music
Sponsor: University of Florida
Summary
Brief Summary: It is the specific intent of this proposal to experimentally explore the possible benefits and mechanisms through which Sonic Augmentation Technology in music can influence emotional health, embodiment, and autonomic functioning. The main goals of the study are: * To examine the immediate effects of listening to the music. * To identify individual characteristics that influence the effectiveness of listening to the music. * Phase 1 ONLY: To examine whether the participants who received the augmented theme reported more improvements than the participants who received the non-augmented theme. Participants will be asked to attend a scheduled online Zoom meeting where they will: * Listen to 15-minutes of music * Complete a pre-music and post-music online survey * Phase 1 ONLY: Attend the lecture/discussion with Dr. Porges and Anthony Gorry on theory and science underlying sonic augmentation technology and the experiences it aims to evoke.
