Music Interaction Design
Using Embodied Cognition to Improve Music Interaction Design
Musicality in the Classroom
Developing a framework for creative learning and the SoundScape collaborative music composition program, evaluated with 96 schoolchildren aged 11.
Neurophony
An exploratory brain–computer music interface using EEG signals and Harmony Space to generate harmonic sequences reflecting a user’s mood.
New User Interfaces for Timbre
Investigating user interfaces for musical timbre design, including evolutionary interaction that allows musicians to explore sound possibilities without mastering synthesizer engineering terminology.
OU Analyse
OU Analyse is a system powered by machine learning methods for early identification of students at risk of failing. All students with their risk of failure in their next assignment are updated weekly and made available to the course tutors...
PEARL
Horizon 2020 Project ID: 690991 Funded under the MSCA-RISE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) programme
PlanC Constraint-Based Musical Planner
A Prolog-based musical planning prototype using Harmony Space to analyse, teach and compose tonal harmony by manipulating spatial representations of harmonic structures.
Rhythm Perception
Testing a physiologically plausible model of rhythm perception against empirical findings on human polyrhythm perception, with the aim of informing future behavioural experiments.
Spatial Audio Navigation
A prototype audio interface for GPS navigation that helps mobile users perform location tasks while their eyes, hands or attention are otherwise occupied.
Stellar Astrophysics
One major facet of astronomy research at the OU is the study of stellar astrophysics.
Teaching programming with generative AI
The widespread availability of generative AI tools has changed the way developers and students approach programming tasks.
The E-sense Project
An interdisciplinary AHRC-funded project investigating sensory augmentation through wearable, ubiquitous and physical computing, with prototypes including MusicJacket, a haptic drum kit and tactile sensory substitution devices.
