Workshops
- Motion Capture (Introductions by Martin Hartmann (MMBB), Finn Upham (RITMO) and Peter Keller(MIB))
This workshop will explore exciting challenges in motion capture within the context of music research, including data integration and analysis, real-time feedback systems, and ethical/legal issues. Topics will cover the complexity of human movement, using both markered and markerless approaches, and the role of mobile devices and naturalistic data collection. The workshop will also emphasize interdisciplinarity, bridging fields like musicology, embodied cognition, biomechanics, computer science, psychology, health, sports, and cross-cultural studies. Join us to discuss the future of mocap in music research! -
Entrainment in music research (Introductions by: Jan Stupacher (MIB), Maja Foldal (RITMO), Patti Nijhuis (MMBB)).
We will discuss some of the questions: Can we integrate the different entrainment levels in a single framework – and should we? How closely should we stick to the original definition of entrainment in physics? Is phase alignment required for entrainment? Is entrainment supposed to be spontaneous? Where is entrainment research heading? We will also discuss some of the more spicy and provocative definitions and uses of entrainment. -
Music Performance (Introductions by: Laura Bishop (RITMO), Peter Keller (MIB) and Marc Thompson(MMBB))
This workshop is about people’s bodily engagement with music in interactive group settings. We will discuss our ongoing research into the psychological processes, brain mechanisms, and patterns of body activity that support entrainment, coordination, and a sense of togetherness. This research has the potential to explain why shared musical experiences can be so emotionally, aesthetically, and socially rewarding. The workshop will discuss challenges, such as how to develop data capture and analysis techniques that are appropriate for large groups, how to balance ecological validity with experimental control, and how to overcome biases in the kinds of music and musical relationships we study. -
Music in clinical research (Introductions: Kira Vibe Jespersen (MIB), Anne-Kristin Solbakk (RITMO), Nella Moisseinen (MMBB)).
Music is an exceptional tool that is both safe and widely applicable across contemporary challenges such as insomnia, neuropsychiatric and neurological conditions, and ‘unhealthy’ aging. In this workshop, we will hear about how music can be used in these contexts yet why the work is not always easy. We will discuss common issues, such as handling analysis work at the intersection of clinical work, arts, and multiple fields of science, and solutions that have led to positive outcomes. -
Qualitative Methods Workshop (Introductions: Guilherme Schmidt C?mara, (RITMO), Ragnhild Br?vig (RITMO), Rebecca Jane Scarratt (MIB), Jaakko Erkkil? (MMBB))
We will explore the “how-to” of the methods, their benefits (including the insights they provide), and some of the challenges associated with them: (a) Qualitative Rhythm Analysis: Analysis of note- and audio signal-based representations of rhythm, with a main focus on the latter. (b) Qualitative Interviews: Conducting qualitative interviews and integrating them with "DAW-fieldwork." (c) Text-Mining and Search Terms: Comparing automatic and manual text mining, and identifying effective search terms. (d) Qualitative Strategy Complementing Quantitative Strategy: A qualitative strategy to assist in interpreting quantitative findings in effectiveness research on music therapy.
