 Last night we attended the Sound and Music late event at the Museum of Science and Industry. The event was a great success and was sold out with over 450 people attending. Dr Michelle Phillips (RNCM) and I (Dr Luke Jones) both gave a talk, along with Peter Saville (founder of Factory Records). We ran two experiments, one examining how the nature of different types of music affect people's perception of duration (people listened to different versions of a unique piece of music that we had commissioned and estimated their durations) , the other experiment examined people's mental imagery for time, we asked people to draw their mental representation of a year, a month, a day and and week. We gave out business cards advertising the lab, and will be posting the results on here in a few weeks time for people to see. It was really valuable to collect data from a wider population than just undergraduate students, and was a great opportunity to chat to the public and promote our time perception lab, research at the Division of Neuroscience and Experimental Psychology and the University of Manchester in general.

Investing in a karaoke machine either for personal or business use is a really wise decision. Karaoke singing is a very great way in enjoying music and relaxing. You can do this in your own room or with your family and friends. 1/6/2017 21:18:43
I really hope that I could be able to attend this Sound and Music late event at the Museum of Science and Industry that you are talking about. I have been able to know about many new things that are pretty interesting. I am also having good interest in all types of music. 13/11/2017 06:06:46
I am a researcher and what you did was incredible. You made a lot of people happy and you were also able to collect some valuable data from them. It was a win-win situation. I would also like to do that kind of way to collect data, but I don't have the budget for it. I will try to find sponsors and other partners that will be interested in participating my study so that I can also pull off an event like that. Wish me luck and nice work you guys. 11/3/2018 23:24:28
