What exactly do virtuoso musicians go through when they play live before an audience?
Watch a live experiment exploring performance stress, using bioengineered equipment to measure musicians’ heart rate, breathing rate and stress response as they perform.
From Paganini and Prokofiev to Mozart and Schumann, bioengineer Evan Morgan investigates. Will performing different styles of music affect how the performers feel, or trigger altered physiological outcomes? Find out as Sandra Shefelbine explains how performance anxiety can be traced through performers’ physiological profiles.
Investigate the psychology of performance stress with our musician and performance analyst Aaron Williamon. What techniques can musicians employ to produce their best performance? Where could this knowledge be applied in other contexts? Chat through the potential implications of this form of bioengineering with those in the field.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the music.
