Hauke Egermann, University of Cologne (Germany): "Music in concert: How live music moves us"

Abstract
While previous studies of music experience mostly focussed on studying isolated listeners in artificial listening situations, new technological developments allow for the assessment of in situ live music experiences at concerts. Here, we developed measures of subjective experience, physiological activation, synchronous movement, and expressive behaviour. My presentation will feature results from studies that show what benefits evolve from using these measures and which conclusions can be drawn for understanding listener responses to music in live settings.
