I'm a graduate student running a study on the effect of music on language processing. If anybody has 10-15 minutes spare, i would be really grateful if you could listen to some music clips and rate them for their emotional content. It's mostly film music with a few other odds and ends mixed in.
Thanks for your interest in the study. At this stage, it's the music that is of interest. Once the clips that give the clearest examples of positive/negative and high/low arousal are identified, I'll use those as stimuli in studies that look more at people and the brain.
Should anybody be interested, here's a follow on study from the one linked above. This one is more "experimental" in flavour. It requires quite a lot of concentration and takes 7 minutes to complete, but unfortunately needs to be done on a PC/laptop for technical reasons (not a phone or tablet). It's open to everyone with normal/corrected to normal hearing.
