Academic interests
Finn Upham uses measurements of audience behaviour, physiological changes in listeners' bodies, and musical signal characteristics to investigate listeners' interactive experience of music unfolding in time. At RITMO, they are working on the empirical evaluation of temporal relationships between rhythms in musical signals and the oscillatory systems of the human body.
