Principal Researcher: David Gerhard, david.gerhard_at_uregina.ca

Welcome to my study.

I'm trying to quantify the differences between speech and singing. You can find more information about this project through the links below.

Stage 1, the collection of sound files, is now complete. I went around with microphone in hand and recorded people's voices.
Stage 2, the collection of opinions, is now available for participation. This involves listening to the sounds I collected and rating them.

Note: Participation in this stage involves listening to audio files. Before you participate, please make sure you have headphones connected to your computer, or you are in a place where listening to audio files will not interrupt the work of your colleagues.

Remember that you can withdraw your participation at any time, so feel free to look around if you're unsure.

Sorry, the experiment is no longer running. For more information, please contact the principal researcher
