Music and Science

We are leaders in the field of music psychology. Our research investigates areas including musical imagery, creativity, preferences, audiences, development, identity and listening behaviours. We explore the intersections between music and wellbeing and undertake real-world research into the impact of music on physical and mental health. Our researchers are engaged with the interaction of technology and music in historical and current contexts. We actively collaborate with organisations as diverse as Opera North, the Science Museum and the NHS.
