We finally have a functional clothing rack for our mocap suits! Hopefully this will streamline the process of getting participants suited up for the next experiment. :)

Hello, Mocap Friends!

We are looking for participants for a new experiment! This study is about moving to different styles of music while listening with headphones--*with a friend!* You must bring a friend in order to participate, preferably someone of your same gender who is not your romantic partner. The experiment should not take longer than an hour and a half. You and your friend will each earn a movie ticket for your participation.

As always, your participation and data will be kept private and confidential, and you can choose to stop participating at any time. Our aim is for you to have a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

We have been busy preparing the lab and are ready to bring participants in starting this week! You can sign up for a time by following this Doodle link:

The time you sign up for is for you AND your partner, so be sure to okay the time with your partner before signing up. This is not an experiment you can do alone! We'll send you more information once you've chosen your time.

You are welcome to contact us at any time if you have any questions or concerns before the experiment. Thank you for your support with our research. We look forward to meeting you in person.

All the best,

Emily Carlson
PhD Candidate in Music
Department of Music, Arts and Culture
