Many thanks for your email. I would be very interested in attending the upcoming seminar on 7 November though as I'm not at Queen Mary I'd like to take you up on the offer of directions if that's ok.

Many thanks and best wishes

Dear all,

On Wednesday, 7th November at 2:00pm, Jonna Vuoskoski will present the seminar 'Emotions induced by music: Psychological mechanisms and some contributing factors'.

This talk will take place in Eng 209 in the Electronic Engineering building, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS.

Information on how to access the school can be found at http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/about/campus-map.php. If you are coming from outside Queen Mary, please let me know, so that I can provide detailed directions and make sure no-one is stuck outside the doors.  If you wish to be added to / removed from our mailing list as an individual recipient, please send me an email and I'll be happy to do so.

Title: Emotions induced by music: Psychological mechanisms and some contributing factors

Speaker: Dr. Jonna Vuoskoski

Abstract

It has been estimated that music evokes emotional responses in us more than half of the time we spend listening to it. However, the mechanisms through which music achieves this have mostly remained unexplored. Juslin and Västfjäll (2008) have proposed six possible induction mechanisms for music-induced emotions: Brain stem reflex, Emotional contagion, Episodic memory, Evaluative conditioning, Musical expectancy, and Visual imagery. The empirical investigation of the proposed mechanisms has, for the most part, only recently begun. This talk presents some recent findings regarding three of the proposed mechanisms, namely Emotional contagion, Episodic memory, and Visual imagery, and discusses how familiarity, contextual information, and individual difference variables might contribute to emotion induction through these mechanisms.

Bio

Dr. Jonna Vuoskoski currently holds a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Music Perception and Cognition at the University of Oxford. She received her doctorate from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, where she carried out research on the role of individual differences in music-induced emotions. Her current, recently commenced research project will investigate cross-modal interactions in the perception of musical performance.
