We are members of the Music, Mind and Brain (MMB) group based at Goldsmiths, University of London and we are interested in how you process musical sounds. We greatly appreciate your interest in our study and hope that you decide to participate.
For this study you will need to be able to hear sounds in a quiet environment. We prefer that you use headphones, if possible. You will also need to view colours on a screen.
Some devices (e.g. smart phones/tablets) may be unable to play the sounds used in this study, so we encourage you to test your sound before you proceed. Please check your audio compability here:
This study should take a maximum of 20-30 minutes. There are three sections: a questionnaire, a test of absolute pitch, and a test for tone-colour synaesthesia. You do not need to have synaesthesia or absolute pitch in order to participate in this study. All the sections will be explained clearly and there will be plenty of opportunities for short breaks.
If you have any questions before you begin then please do not hesitate to contact us: ap.synesthesia.online.test@gmail.com
