Multimodal Mental Imagery Experience of Music Listening
11 May 2020
This study aims at exploring mental imagery (also known as “seeing in the mind’s eye”) occurring in all of our senses during music listening: hearing, vision, taste, smell, touch, and sense of movement. It’s perfectly normal to experience all or some forms of imagery or no imagery at all. We are very much interested in all of your experiences while listening to music, or their absence. The study takes between 15 and 40 minutes to complete depending on your mental imagery.
