Hello Vicky – I listened with interest to your talk with Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 recently about music and learning. I heard you were looking for volunteers to help with your research?
Our youngest son (12) is at a special school. Although his IQ is within a normal range and his vocab 2 years ahead of peer group, he has Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and dyslexia. Luke also has an exceptionally slow processing speed and it’s thought that a difficult birth may have impacted on short term memory. Dr David Baguley is the Head of Audiology (and world expert in Tinnitus and Hypercausis) at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge Dr Baguley diagnosed Luke as having hypercausis which has been linked to ASDs and is directly affected by stress levels.
Luke loves listening to music. If there is any way we can help your interesting research then we will happily do so, but are slightly restricted by having to stay local as I’m recovering from cancer and am at home a lot.
We were watching Home of the Future and there was an interesting bit about a company called *** who are developing games and learning opportunities that can be played with brain power only. They think this could help develop people’s memory and concentration immensely and I wonder if you could add your amazing earworm knowledge to the mix to evolve play and learning tools for future generations to benefit from?
Good luck with all your interesting work Vicky! Best fishes – mary:-)
Hi!
I am curious as to whether there will be any PhD positions available working on the Amusia project? Essentially, this is what interests me most about music psychology. Do you think it will be possible to apply for such a position?
All the best,
Ben
Hi Ben
I am afraid there are currently no pre-funded PhD positions on the amusia project but if you would be interested to apply for funding (or self fund) and discuss a PhD proposal that you have for working with the amusics then feel free to send your CV and a 1-2 page summary of your ideas (including any thoughts about where you might be eligible to apply for funding) to me at v.williamson-at-gold.ac.uk. I can then discuss it with Dr Lauren Stewart, who is the lab manager, and we can take it from there.
Best, Vicky
