In progress
Experimental Psychology
- Experiment evaluating how internal representations of stimuli changes how we process it: whether motor representation of a distractor in a synchronization task makes it more or less distracting.
- Experiment evaluating how two partner dance learning strategies (dancing with a repeating partner or dancing with multiple partners) compares to learn haptic communication.
Computational modelling
- Modelling the inference process of rhythmic structure and repetition through probabilistic grammars.
